The Boston University War Record 

SOON after the signing of the armistice, in 1918, the National 
Government requested the colleges and universities of the 
country to prepare an official record of their war activities. In 
response to this request the Trustees of Boston University author- 
ized the preparation of such a record and made an appropriation to 
defray the cost of publication. It was decided to include in the 
volume the war record of every person who at any time had been 
a member of the university body. 

In accordance with this decision, forty thousand question- 
naires were mailed. The response was unexpectedly large. Over 
three thousand questionnaires were filled out and returned. 

Undoubtedly, very many, especially those mailed to the men at 
the front, failed to reach the persons addressed. Every effort was 
subsequently made to reach these men. Newspaper clues were 
followed; many letters were written to friends and relatives of the 
men who had failed to report. After the return of the troops from 
abroad, a second questionnaire was forwarded to the home address 
of those who had failed to receive the first. These subsidiary eiforts 
secured several hundred belated questionnaires. 

In the printed data certain items are preceded by an asterisk. 
This asterisk indicates that the information was not directly fur- 
nished by the person concerned but that the source seemed suffi- 
ciently authentic to warrant the inclusion of the data. All material 
not marked by an asterisk was furnished directly by the persons 
concerned. 

In editing the Record, difficulties were encountered in deci- 
phering the French proper names. Written in the very trenches, and 
prepared by the writers amid indescribable difficulties, it is not 
surprising that the words were in many cases illegible. Wherever 
the best available atlases furnished a clue the names have been cor- 
rectly printed. Scores of names, however, are not found in these 
atlases; these names were submitted to several persons in an en- 
deavor to ascertain the correct spelling. It is too much to hope that 
absolute accuracy has been attained. 

Another difficulty was found in editing the data submitted: in 
many questionnaires the years of the various events cited were 
manifestly inconsistent and wrong. Some of these dates would 
indicate that men were discharged from the service a year or more 



2 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

before they enlisted. Wherever it was possible an attempt was 
made by personal letters to clear up the confusion. In other cases it 
was necessary by editing to introduce consistency into the data. 

The mass of material submitted was so great that it was found 
absolutely necessary to condense many of the reports. The work of 
condensation was entrusted to a former army officer with instruc- 
tions to retain everything essential and to reduce so far as possible 
the data to a uniform style of notation. Some may feel that the 
condensation has been carried to an unwarranted extreme. It will 
cause genuine regret to the editorial staff if any injustice has been 
done. The need of condensation was absolute; the work was en- 
trusted to a careful man who has an intimate acquaintance with 
military matters and who served with high distinction at the front. 

The preparation of so large a volume was necessarily the work of 
many persons, cooperating through many months. No effort to 
secure exactness was regarded by the editorial staff as too great, yet 
it is inevitable that errors should creep into a work so detailed. All 
corrections brought to our attention will be carefully noted. 

The literary portion of the volume is of permanent value and 
much of it is of absorbing interest. The articles as a whole form a 
genuine contribution to the history of the World War. The Trustees 
of the University have liberally and cordially supported the edi- 
torial staff in the preparation of the volume. To all who have con- 
tributed in any way to this war record of Boston University the 
editors express their sincere and abiding thanks. 
Boston, September 10, 1920. 



THE SECOND DIVISION IN THE BATTLE OF 
CHATEAU-THIERRY 

Stephen Warren Brethorst 

[Stephen Warren Brethorst, a graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of Boston 
University, '20, was a captain in the Fifth Regiment, United States Marines, 
American Expeditionary Forces.] 

CHATEAU-THIERRY is a name rather loosely applied to a 
series of operations which took place between the Vesle and 
the Marne Rivers from June 1 to the first of August, 1918. These 
operations, as far as the Second American Division is concerned, 
may be divided into two phases:' first, that which was compre- 



WAR RECORD 3 

hended in pinning down the German advance on Paris and in mak- 
ing the offensive about Belleau Wood between June 1 and June 26; 
second, the counter-offensive launched by Marshal Foch from 
July 18 to the first of August. 

In this short article I shall endeavor to portray the human ele- 
ments of sacrifice, fortitude, and suffering, for I realize that a mere 
sketch of the main features of an engagement is like the rough outline 
of a picture before the artist has added the colors and the propor- 
tions of life. 

During the last days of May, 1918, the armies of General Luden- 
dorff, flushed with their victories of March and April, had swept 
the French and the Scotch from the strongly fortified positions of 
the Chemin-des-Dames, and, pressing back the remnants of what 
was once a French Army, were marching on Paris with little or no 
opposition. 

The Second Division, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Omar Bundy, 
and later by Maj.-Gen. James G. Harboard, was unique in that it 
was a composite force of the army and the navy. It consisted of a 
brigade of marines, a brigade of infantry, and a brigade of artillery. 
Seasoned by months of arduous service in trench warfare near Ver- 
dun, it was held in reserve near Amiens awaiting the German offen- 
sive, which the Allied High Command had been deceived into 
believing would be launched against the British Army. 

At ten o'clock on the night of Memorial Day the division re- 
ceived orders to entrain on camions and proceed eastward to meet 
the German advance which was threatening the gates of Paris. 
Their course took them through the threatened city, where they 
learned of the seriousness of the situation and of the evacuation of 
the city. As the miles of camions passed by, the crowds became 
enthusiastic and demonstrative, for they well knew that on this 
group of men depended the very safety of their homes. The advance 
north from Paris was over roads almost impassable from numberless 
ambulances, motor lorries, fleeing fugitives, and retreating troops. 
During the last hours thousands of refugees were passed, — old and 
gray-haired men and women, mothers with babes on their arms, or 
at their side, children crying for food or because they were too 
weary and foot-sore to go further. The few personal effects that 
they had been able to collect hurriedly were loaded on baby-car- 
riages or wagons, for only a few fortunate ones had succeeded in 
getting away with a horse and cart. The earnings of a lifetime and all 



4 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

that they held dear were left for the vandal Huns to devastate. 
The memory of these stricken and suffering people no doubt sus- 
tained the boys through the superhuman tasks of the next few days. 

At five o'clock on the morning of June 1 the division detrained 
and began the hike to Montreuil, although they had been without 
food or sleep for forty-eight hours. Orders were received from the 
French Staff to retreat to the Marne, but General Bundy sent back 
the memorable reply which will be told to future generations, — 
"The American Flag knows not retreat." 

As the columns swung up the road, the boys began singing 
their popular song, "Over There." The words of the refrain, "We '11 
not come back till it 's over over HERE " were words not of the 
lips only but of the heart. The French troops, remnants of what was 
once an army, were moving to the rear by twos, squads, and hun- 
dreds, in no semblance of an orderly retreat, but nothing less than a 
rout. The sight of the happy Americans, who were soon to prove 
themselves terrible in battle, seemed to revive in them the old 
spirit which saved Verdun, — "They shall not pass," — and soon 
dots of horizon blue appeared in the ranks of the olive drab. At 
Montreuil the regiments moved forward on parallel roads to meet the 
enemy. At dusk the advance guards exchanged shots. The armies 
threw out skirmish lines and awaited the dawn of a momentous day. 

It was the first day of June, a day which never shall be for- 
gotten. The sun rose in gloom and black disaster. But the sun set 
that night upon a world redeemed. At dawn wave after wave of the 
steel gray came over the hills and through the valleys, closely fol- 
lowing a terrific barrage, but under the accurate fire of the boys in 
olive drab the lines went down as grain before a sickle. All that day 
and the next three days there was grappling hand to hand, cold 
steel meeting cold steel. 

The situation was and continued to be most adverse. The Ger- 
mans had complete control of the air, their machine guns and in- 
fantry held the most strategic woods, while their artillery crowned 
the hills and dominated the terrain for miles. No troops could be 
moved, no provisions or supplies transported, and no work done by 
day without drawing a terrific artillery fire or a volley of bombs 
from the low-flying enemy planes. For six weeks not a hot meal was 
served at the front, yet the morale of the troops was unshaken. 

To improve the situation, General Harboard, commanding the 
brigade of marines, ordered an attack on Belleau Wood and the 



WAR RECORD 5 

town of Boureches. At five o'clock on the evening of June 6 the 
marines advanced across the open wheat fields serene and confident. 
The echelons, with their fixed bayonets sparkling in the sun, moved 
forward rapidly but surely. It looked more as though it were a dress 
parade in Washington than an advance to almost certain death. 
Minute by minute the ordered lines melted away under the deluge 
of high explosives, shrapnel, rifle, and machine-gun fire, but they 
would not be denied their objectives. Boureches was captured and 
also a footing gained in the southern edge of Belleau Wood. Terri- 
tory six kilometers in length and two kilometers in depth was 
wrested from the enemy. 

To show the nature of this wooded warfare I cite one small 
incident that occurred on the morning of June 7. Three companies 
of one battalion had failed to get through on the previous evening, 
and this left a gap of half a kilometer in the American lines in 
Belleau Wood. The Germans, realizing this, sent a patrol with a 
machine gun through the gap in an effort to bag the few Americans. 
This was reported to the officer in command by a scout from the 
outpost. Only immediate action could save the little force of ma- 
rines from annihilation or capture, and the Wood from again falling 
into the hands of the enemy. The officer, with five non-commissioned 
officers, slipped out to intercept the Hun patrol. They had gone 
less than fifty paces when suddenly two of the Fritzes came bound- 
ing over the rocks, landing directly in their midst. They made a dash 
for cover, and not heeding the command to halt, fell riddled ere 
they had gone ten paces. The entire enemy patrol then opened 
fire and all sought cover. Regular Indian style warfare followed, 
leaping from tree to tree and from stone to stone. The marines 
were expert shots, and when Heinle's head, encased in a steel helmet, 
appeared above the rocks or around a tree, he received a well-placed 
bullet. Four of them, deciding to seek safety in flight, went bounding 
over the rocks as frightened deer pursued by hounds. The pieces 
of steel they were courting sped on their mission of love. As rabbits 
whirl in air on being shot, so did these Fritzes as they emitted the 
familiar death shriek. 

From that time on the marines were heavily engaged up to 
June 27. Despite terrible casualties, they made subsequent attacks 
on this Wood, and finally it fell completely into their hands, the 
enemy retiring to the hills north and east. Over a thousand prisoners 
and many machine guns were captured in this long campaign. 



6 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

Belleau Wood and Boureches became a regular hell. The stench 
from the unburied American and German dead made life here un- 
bearable. Hour after hour, day and night, with increasing intensity 
as the time passed, the enemy rained heavy shells into this area. 
The church at Boureches stood up a broken tooth of masonry among 
the shattered houses, with an amphitheater of splintered woods 
behind and around it. 

The ninth and twenty-third regiments of infantry were sup- 
porting the marines during these weeks, but on July 1 they attacked 
and captured Vaux in a magnificent frontal attack. The best proof 
of the intensity of the fighting is shown by the fact that the losses 
of the marine brigade during these four weeks was 5,199 in killed 
or wounded. 

It was a heavy price we paid, but can it be said that it was not 
well paid, not only in military results but in proof to our country 
and to the world that these raw troops from the New World were 
the equals of the best? 

Was this action at Belleau Wood decisive? Did it supply the 
necessary resistance to the German drive, when other reserves were 
lacking? Yes; this is the opinion in France as well as in America, 
and is the verdict of many military men, who hold that these four 
regiments on the road to Paris were the last barrier between Luden- 
dorff and Paris. 

The villages of Boureches and Vaux and Belleau Wood, known 
now and forever as the "Wood of the American Marines," will be 
places of American pilgrimage for years. 

The relief of the Second Division by the Twenty-sixth New 
England Division was entirely completed on July 10, and the Second 
Division was withdrawn to reserve lines for replacements and rest 
with the consciousness of having established a remarkable record. 

Having been thwarted in his attempt to take Paris in June, 
Ludendorff began on July 15 a stupendous effort to cross the Marne, 
capture Dormans and the railroads feeding Verdun, and then march 
on the French capital. To meet this new attack Marshal Foch 
decided to launch a counter-offensive at the upper end of the 
V-shaped salient which extended from the Aisne to the Marne. 

The Second Division received orders on the morning of July 16 
to proceed to the rear. Forced marching brought them to Cruitz, 
where they entrained on camions which were drawn up under cover 
of trees which the sharp eyes of the enemy aviators could not pierce. 



WAR RECORD 7 

The camions moved off with the human cannon fodder — whither, no 
one knew. Utmost secrecy being necessary, they detoured through 
Meaux, but finally turned north towards Villers Cotterets and 
there dumped their load of human freight. Without food or rest, 
and miserable from the eighteen hours' ride, the regiments were 
formed and marched northward. At dusk the officers of each regiment 
were assembled and informed that an attack would be made at 
4.24 in the morning. A lady wearing a uniform of blue with the 
insignia of the red triangle appeared with a Ford truck and issued 
cookies, a cake of chocolate, and a package of cigarettes to each 
man. Who will not agree that these women, — nurses. Red Cross 
and Y. W. C. A. workers, and Salvation Army lasses, — blessed 
with a spirit of sacrifice and love of service, are God's greatest 
gift to man? Through all those terrible, dark hours of the night, 
during a pouring rain, the ranks plodded on in single file. To keep 
the column from being broken each man was forced to grip the man 
ahead, for only by an occasional flash of lightning could the line 
or road be seen. The course led through a densely wooded region 
where the trees over-arched the road. A line of supply trucks, 
wagons, and artillery was drawn up in the center of the road. On 
the right, moving toward Soissons, was a column of ambulances, 
ration wagons, and trucks with ammunition; on the left a column 
of empty lorries, wagons, and caissons, moving to the rear. After 
five agonizing hours of crawling under trucks, carts, and mules, 
the line pressed through the three miles of congested traffic. 

Hundreds of the plucky but over-taxed lads had "fallen out" 
on the hike, some never to see the dawn of another day. Many who 
were thrown under the wheels of the moving traffic lay mangled 
on the roads. Others, with the print of a mule's foot visible on their 
bodies, lay stiff and cold by the side of the road, while still others 
who had fallen over the steep embankments were suffering intense 
pain from bruises and broken limbs. The drenched men were nearly 
exhausted, and barely reached their jumping-off place at the zero 
hour. Some companies were forced to double time for several miles. 

Following closely a rolling barrage, the most terrific in the history 
of the war, these boys who had had no sleep or rest for two days 
and two nights went "over the top," preceded by French tanks, 
just south of Soissons. In five hours they had driven the German 
forces from the plateau commanding Vierzy. At seven o'clock in 
the evening they again moved forward and crossed the Soissons- 



8 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

Paris railway, capturing Vierzy after heavy fighting and severe 
losses. They stopped only at Vigny, where they dug in about mid- 
night, to await daylight and the resumption of the attack. 

The battlefield, illuminated by the flames of burning tanks, 
by Very Lights which were in ever-increasing number piercing the 
cold, damp air, and by immense star shells dropped by enemy planes 
hovering overhead, revealed little groups of medical men at work 
ministering to the wounded. Lads with bodies torn and mangled, 
muscles stiff from the damp, chilly air, and lips parched with thirst, 
were sufi^ering pain which only a battlefield knows. As he writes 
this on the first anniversary of that glorious day, the author can 
still clearly hear those agonizing and heart-rending cries of "First 
Aid" and "Stretcher Bearers" as they were wafted over the field 
every minute of every hour of that terrible night. 

This counter-stroke between Soissons and Chateau-Thierry 
may be termed in all fairness decisive. The First American Division 
with the Second, supported by the famous Singlese shock troops, 
broke the hinge of the salient south of Soissons — a task stupendous, 
of which the far-reaching consequences, perhaps, cannot be justly 
estimated for years.

THE MARINES IN FRANCE

[Chaplain James Duncan MacNair is a graduate of the College of Liberal 
Arts, '05, and of the School of Theology, '05. He has served as chaplain in the 
United States Navy in many places, and saw service in France from October, 1917, 
to July, 1918. He holds the rank of lieutenant in the navy.] 

WHEN the United States declared war on Germany, in April, 
1917, the question arose: how soon can we get our forces to 
the Western Front in Europe? France, England, and the other 
allies were war-weary and discouraged. For nearly three years 
they had been fighting a foe who seemed as though he could not 
be beaten; in fact, it was almost feared that he would win. However, 
the entry of the United States into the great World War made it 
certain that the Central Powers would eventually be defeated. 
There were many problems to be met by our country, and among 
these was the one of sending our men across the Atlantic. Yet 
within a few weeks after war was declared our soldiers began to

WAR RECORD 9 

embark for Europe. In June the first contingent of marines was in 
France, and by the first of January, 1918, two regiments and two 
machine-gun battalions were ready and anxious to go into in- 
tensive training for the front. 

The 5th and 6th Regiments of Marines, together with the 
Machine-Gun Battalions, were made the 4th Brigade of the 2d 
Division of the American Army. The 5th Regiment was commanded 
by Colonel Neville and the 6th by Colonel Catlin, the Brigade 
Commander being General Doyen, who was relieved in the early 
part of May by General Harboard. 

On March 15 we left our training area, which was to the 
east of Chaumont and south of Neufchateau. After a fifteen or 
sixteen hour trip on a slow-moving train, we arrived at Dugny, a 
small town to the south of Verdun, where we disembarked for the 
trenches. The position assigned us was in the High Meuse, southeast 
of Verdun, between a point near Les Eparges on the south and 
Ronvaux to the north. We were at first put in with the French, but 
later were left to hold the front line alone. During our two months' 
stay here the division was under the tutelage of the French. We 
lived in dugouts, and had there been neither rats nor cooties we 
should have been fairly comfortable. There was plenty of artillery 
fire and quite a number of raids by either side. The aeroplanes 
were always busy and the anti-aircraft guns were in constant use. 
In the morning of April 14 the Germans began to shell the little 
ravine of St. Robert, and in two hours had sent over about three 
thousand shells, sixteen hundred of which were gas. The 74th 
Company of Marines was billeted in the ravine, and a large number 
of its men were gassed. 

We left the trenches on the night of May 13 for a rest area 
west of Revigny, and five days later were ordered to another 
northwest of Paris. Here we remained until May 31. On May 
30 we were ordered to be ready to depart for the front at six 
o'clock, the hour being later changed to ten, but the motor 
lorries did not begin to arrive until four o'clock in the morning 
of the 31st. When we came to the last rest area we all felt sure that 
the division was to be put in on the Somme or at Montdidier, but 
the drive by the German Army of the Crown Prince, which swept 
over the Chemin-des-Dames and advanced down the Marne 
Valley, getting nearer and nearer to Paris by eight and ten kilo- 
meters a day, evidently changed the plans of the Allied High Com- 



10 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

mand, for the 2d Division of the American Army was hurried to the 
east of Paris to a point on the Paris-Metz road west of Chateau- 
Thierry. The division had traveled nearly eighty miles in spring- 
less trucks over dusty roads, but the men, although weary, were 
ready and anxious to get into the fray. 

Before proceeding further it may be well to state of what units 
our division was composed. The 9th and 23d Regiments of In- 
fantry made up the 3d Brigade, the 5th and 6th Regiments of 
Marines with the 6th Machine Gun Battalion the 4th Brigade, 
and then came the 12th, 15th, and 17th Artillery, the 2d Engineers, 
the Signal Corps, and the Supply Train — 27,000 men in all. 

In the morning of June 1 we were told that the division was 
to go into line immediately and to hold at all costs. The line was 
simply an ever-moving line separating the French from the Germans. 
The Germans were less than forty miles from Paris and felt sure 
at last it was within their grasp, but "there 's many a slip 'twixt 
the cup and the lip," and the coveted prize was never taken. The 
position that was taken up was from a point a short way from 
Chiteau-Thierry to a hill between Marigny and Torcy. The line 
ran through Le Thiolet, Bois des Clerembauts, Triangle Farm, and 
Lucy le Bocage to the Bois de Veuilly. On the left came the 23d, 
then a battalion of the 5th, two battalions of the 6th, and to the 
right the 9th Regiment of Infantry. We formed our line back of 
the retreating French and they passed through our lines, leaving 
us face to face with the German Army. On the afternoon of June 2 
our division came into contact with the enemy. Here I will quote 
from Colonel Catlin's book, "With the Help of God and a Few 
Marines" (pages 92-94) : 

The attack was launched against the French who had remained 
in front of Wise's battalion of the Fifth at Hill 165. It started about 
5 o'clock in the afternoon and came from the north and northeast. 
It was a beautiful, clear day, and from my post of observation at 
La Voie du Chatel I could watch the whole of it. 

The Germans swept down an open slope in platoon waves, 
across wide wheat-fields bright with poppies that gleamed like 
splashes of blood in the afternoon sun. The French met the attack 
and then fell steadily back. First I saw the French coming back 
through the wheat, fighting as they came. Then the Germans, in 
two columns, steady as machines. To me as a military man it was 
a beautiful sight. I could not but admire the precision and steadi- 
ness of those waves of men in gray with the sun glinting on their 
helmets. On they came, never wavering, never faltering, appar- 
ently irresistible. 



WAR RECORD 11 

But they were not irresistible. Back of the French was a force 
they had not reckoned on, a force as steady and confident as them- 
selves. It was that battalion of the Fifth Marines on our left. 

At the right moment the Americans opened up with a slashing 
barrage. Shrapnel, machine gun, and rifle fire were poured into 
those advancing lines. It was terrible in its effectiveness. The 
French told us that they had never seen such marksmanship prac- 
tised in the heat of battle. If the German advance looked beautiful 
to me, that metal curtain that our marines rang down on the scene 
was even more so. 

The German lines did not break; they were broken. The Boches 
fell by the scores there among the wheat and the poppies. 

They hesitated, they halted, they withdrew a space. Then 
they came on again. They were brave men; we must grant them 
that. Three times they tried to reform and break through that bar- 
rage, but they had to stop at last. The United States Marines had 
stopped them. Thus repulsed, with heavy losses, they retired, but 
our fire was relentless; it followed them to their death. They broke 
and ran for cover, though their first line hung on till dark, north 
of Champillon. 

Then, mercilessly, methodically, we shelled the woods where 
they had taken refuge. A French aviator who sailed overhead saw 
one entire battalion annihilated there, and signaled back "Bravo" 
to our gunners. 

It was a terrible slaughter; the mere thought of such wholesale 
killing is enough to curdle Christian blood. But we had whipped 
the Hun. We had turned that part of his advance into a rout. We 
had tasted his blood and we had not forgotten the blood of our own 
who had been slain. We had won our first fight there where fighting 
meant so much, and it would not have been human to refrain from 
cheering when it was over. 

On June 6 began the attack on Belleau Wood, a woods one 
mile and a quarter long by a quarter to a half mile wide, which 
did not end until the woods was cleared of the Germans and their 
machine-gun nests. During the month of June the marines not 
only had stopped the big German drive on Paris, but also had taken 
Boureches and Belleau Wood, and the division had driven the 
enemy back, held Vaux, and also a line from that place to a point 
not far from Torcy. The 26th Division began to relieve the 2d on 
July 4. 

The 2d Division, although it did not get into the actual battle 
line first, yet suffered more casualties, captured more prisoners and 
booty, covered more territory, and was engaged in more major 
operations than any other division of the American Expeditionary 
Force.

Of the marines it can be truly said that to their heroic work a 
great part of this honor is due. Wherever a marine is placed he 
does his full duty, for he is imbued with the spirit of the words of 
the Marine Hymn: 

"In many a strife we have fought for life, 
And never lost our nerve." 

OUR AIR SERVICE IN THE WAR 

Robert F. Raymond, Jr. 

[Captain Robert F. Raymond, Jr., a student in the College of Liberal Arts 
of Boston University in 1915,servedin the aviation corps in theToul and Chateau- 
Thierry sectors. For his brilliant work he was awarded the Distinguished Ser- 
vice Cross.] 

OF all branches of the army, the air service has received the 
most criticism. This is partly due to the fact that this branch, 
appealing as it does to the imagination of all, had from its earliest 
days an over-amount of publicity, causing Mr. Average Citizen 
to expect of it accomplishments which were beyond all possibilities 
of realization. It is due also to the fact that for material we were 
dependent, even to the end, upon the over-taxed resources of our 
allies. The achievements of the air service, thus handicapped, were 
nothing short of remarkable. With nothing of equipment or per- 
sonnel with which to make a start, a force was built up which, at 
the close of the war, was only surpassed by the Royal Air Force 
of Britain and the Imperial Force of Germany. 

No account, however brief, of our aerial activities would be 
complete without mention of the Lafayette Escadrille, that coura- 
geous group of American volunteers who flew and fought for France 
before our belated entry into the war. Their individual exploits 
will furnish material for romance for many years to come. A fitting 
sequel to these deeds was the brilliant and faithful work of those 
few survivors of the famous squadron who directed the activities 
in the air of the no less ardent youth who followed them to France 
in high resolve. 

The function of the air service is four- fold. It has first to direct 
artillery fire and to reconnoiter and report during an attack; 
second, to do long-distance reconnaissance and to obtain photo- 
graphs of the enemy positions; third, to bomb both by day and by 
night; and fourth, to keep the enemy over his own lines and away

from ours. For the first three kinds of work two-seated machines, 
manned by pilot and observer, are used. The fourth type of work 
is performed by light, fast, amazingly maneuverable, single-seated 
machines. The work of the latter class is essentially offensive, 
mounting as they do two fixed guns in front timed to fire between 
the revolving blades of the propeller. This class of planes is called 
"Pursuit" — or "Chasse," as the French term it. 

Our first squadrons appeared, as did our first infantry units, 
on the old Toul-Luneville sector, the squadrons first to get into the 
fray being the 1st and 12th artillery observation, photographic and 
reconnaissance squadrons, the 1st "pursuit" group, containing the 
94th, 95th, 147th, and 27th squadrons, and the 96th, our first day- 
bombardment squadron. We had no night squadrons until just 
before the signing of the armistice. Besides these squadrons on the 
Toul sector we had the 103d pursuit squadron, under Major Thaw, 
at Dunkirk. As time went on many other squadrons came to the 
front and made enviable records, but these first bore the brunt of 
it when conditions were most difficult. 

There was great difficulty at first in establishing liaison between 
the air force and the forces on the ground, but this was gradually 
smoothed away with time and experience. Our photographic 
work from the first was of a high order, and it is safe to say that at 
Toul we were masters of the air. 

At Chateau-Thierry the enemy had absolutely everything he 
could muster, and the Americans, though reinforced by a brigade 
of British and some French squadrons, were greatly outnumbered. 
Here our casualties were very heavy, especially in the pursuit squad- 
rons. The 94th and 95th squadrons, who had performed so bril- 
liantly at Toul, were changing their Nieuport machines to Spads, 
and a heavy burden fell on the shoulders of the 27th and the 147th. 
Here the 27th, under the leadership of Colonel (then Major) Hart- 
ney, D.S.C., formerly of the Royal Flying Corps, did exceptionally 
fine work, though with heavy losses. Colonel Hartney later com- 
manded the First Pursuit Group, and much of the success of that 
organization, to whose credit fell two-thirds of our official victories 
in the air, was due to his inspiring leadership. 

After Chateau-Thierry came the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne 
oflfensives, fundamentally different from the earlier days in that 
the allied armies were attacking. Reinforced now by many new 
squadrons, we gained and held the supremacy of the air on these 



14 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

fronts, successfully performing our aerial missions and bringing 
down many more of the enemy planes than they did of ours. Only 
the bombers continued to suflfer heavy casualties, due in part to 
the very nature of their work; but also, it must be confessed, to 
inefficient direction and to the fact that the Liberty motors, ex- 
ceedingly efficient in themselves, were installed in a plane that 
was at least a year out of date and quite unadapted to the work 
required of it. 

Mention should be made of our squadrons with the British, 
several of which did excellent work, and also four naval squadrons 
and their less spectacular but very important patrol work. Some 
individuals, too, distinguished themselves on the Italian Front. 
Everywhere our pilots, in most cases with a very limited amount 
of training, brought credit to themselves and to their country by 
their courage, their audacity, and their hard, conscientious work. 

Captain Rickenbacker, with his twenty-six official victories, 
and Lieutenant Luke, whose meteoric career earned the only Con- 
gressional Medal awarded an aviator, were the outstanding 
heroes of our air forces, but all who flew over the lines did so with 
the same calm, determined effort to "do their bit" that distinguished 
every American unit on the front in every branch of the service. 

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DOUGHBOY IN THE 
FIGHTING-LINE 

Lauress J. Birney 
[Bishop Lauress J. Birney was Dean of the School of Theology of Boston University.] 

HAVING been asked to record impressions, as received at the 
front, of the spirit and temper of the American soldier in 
action, the writer complies, with the hope that it may help, if ever 
so little, to visualize to some who were not privileged to be with him, 
the most remarkable soldier in the great World War. In what may 
here be written there is no idealization of the doughboy. The writer 
saw, and keeps clearly in mind, all the sordid side of war. It 
was mingled everywhere with the sublimity of spirit. Pages could 
be written of it. Even yet the memory of the unspeakable profanity 
is nauseating. A whole dictionary might be compiled of the profane 
terms which the writer never knew existed until he lived with the 
troops day and night. Nevertheless it is the universal testimony 
of those officials who moved through all the armies that the cleanest- 
tongued soldier in the great war was the doughboy from America. 



WAR RECORD 15 

Literally hundreds of thousands of them never used a profane or 
unclean word. 

Nor do we forget the French wine and its effect upon many of 
our lads. That it is non-intoxicating and harmless is a vicious de- 
lusion. Scores we have seen under its influence, some of them idiot- 
ically drunk. But by the testimony of the same observers on every 
hand, the most temperate soldier in the war was without any ques- 
tion our own American doughboy. No one who has studied the 
facts ever doubts that there was less of drunkenness among the 
two million soldiers in France, so far from home, than there would 
have been among the same two million had they remained on this 
side of the sea. 

The same is true of their moral life. There are doubtless many 
bad French women, but he who believes the womanhood of France 
to be a degenerate womanhood simply betrays his blind acceptance 
of a German propaganda which has been in process for a generation, 
to prepare the mind of the world for "the day" which brought the 
sprawling defeat of its brutal prophets and the supreme victory 
of the "degenerate race." No race of degenerate womanhood can 
ever give birth to such amazing soldiers as made up the army of 
France. If the laws in this land were as lax and free as they are in 
France, — thank God they are not, and pray heaven they may never 
be, — if they were, one would see any night on the streets of any 
great American city what may be seen on the streets of Paris. 
Thousands of our soldiers fell to this temptation, but the American 
Army was by all odds the cleanest army that fought for the liberty 
of the world. Such a record has probably never been equaled by 
any army in the world's history. There was much less of this form 
of immorality among the two million men than there would have 
been among the same men had there never been a war. But we 
turn eagerly to the rare and unforgettable elements in this dough- 
boy's character as revealed under the test of fire and mud and blood. 

The first and most conspicuous of these elements were his hero- 
ism, courage, abandon, on the field of battle. Not braver than the 
soldier of other armies, yet all who saw him in action instantly 
recognized a mystic diff^erence between his daring and that of other 
soldiers. Among the reasons for that diff^erence was the poignant 
realization as he entered the line that he was "mighty late in the 
game." By the time he reached the point where he went over the 
top he realized that the very ground he walked on was soaked with 



16 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

the blood of millions who had died for his safety while his country 
wrote harmless notes. And over the top he went, determined to make 
up for lost time if possible. Again he realized as no other soldiers 
did that the whole world was watching him with a terrible anxiety. 
Other armies had done their best, and the awful fear of their failure 
was never so heavy upon the heart of the world as at the time 
when he went into the line. He felt the world expectation and hope. 
He felt it keenly y and into the line he went determined to die to the 
last man rather than give an inch. He did just that. Yet again, 
the rare detachment from personal advantage went far to make 
the mystic difference in his courage. The poilu was fighting for 
desperate defense and sometimes for revenge. His home was, or 
might be, ruined and his loved ones desecrated. Likewise with the 
Tommy. "Three weeks to Paris, three months to London" was 
the boastful chant of the Hun as he swept across Belgium. The 
doughboy, too, was fighting for defense. It was in a very real sense 
the defense of America, too, but he could not realize it. It was 
too indefinite and far away. He was in that line for a square 
deal and a decent civilization. This, too, helped to make pos- 
sible that strange but unmistakable difference in his amazing 
heroism. To use the phrase of Secretary Baker, who saw the boys 
in one action, "The American soldier literally romps in battle." 
It was a kind of intoxication of courage, yet wholly deliberate and 
fully conscious of the peril. Again and again have men walked out 
in the open to draw the fire of a hidden machine gun, that his pals 
might locate it, but knowing well that they would bury him in the 
soil of France. In a few minutes after one company of 250 went 
Into action at Chiteau-Thierry, 245 of them were down, but there 
was never a moment of wavering or hesitation. Only 200 of our men 
and 10 machine guns held the horde of Huns at the Chtteau-Thierry 
bridges across the Marne for hours till reinforcements could come. 
Most of the 200 never came back. In desperation they fired not 
wildly, in the "direction of the enemy," but coolly calculating the 
distance, adjusting their sight accordingly, picking out one man 
and bringing him down. Then the next, often with some grim jest 
to the nearest pal. That young officer was absolutely typical who, 
when asked by a French officer at Ch§,teau-Thierry to cover the 
French retreat until they could go back a kilometer and dig a trench 
into which the Americans could then retreat, replied, "The hell 
you say! We Ve just come, and we did n't come to retreat!" And 



WAR RECORD 17 

not an inch of ground did they yield. Hindenberg said when we 
entered the war, "The American soldier is a coward and won't 
fight; he has never been trained and can't fight, and they can never 
get him over here if he would and could fight." It was Hindenberg 
again who said, after Chateau-Thierry, "Mark me, from this time 
on the American soldier is our most dangerous enemy." This 
accurately expresses the conviction of every German soldier after 
he had come in contact with our boys, and especially if he had met 
the doughboy with the bayonet. Though they hated the work of 
the bayonet, our boys were usually eager to get into bayonet combat 
with the Hun because they knew themselves to be vastly superior 
to the Hun in hand-to-hand combat. One very seldom saw an Amer- 
ican soldier dead or wounded by the bayonet, while death or wounds 
by the American bayonet were very common among the Germans, 
and they early came to feel the doughboy to be invincible. A letter 
was found on the dead body of a German soldier in the St. Mihiel 
drive, through which it was my privilege to go with the 90th Division, 
written by a pal from the Chateau-Thierry sector. In it was this 
paragraph giving the typical Hun fear of the doughboy: "If the 
American soldiers are down there, and if they come out of their 
trenches, you get out of yours or prepare to meet your God, that 's 
all, for they are like lightning; they come mighty quick, and nothing 
can stop them." Never again can it be said that the citizen soldier 
is inferior to the professional. It will always be remembered that his 
chivalry, self-forgetting sacrificial heroism, has never been surpassed. 
But his bravery was matched by his amazing spirit in the 
fighting line. Back of the line in the training camps he "grouched" 
about everything. But in the fighting line he bore everything with- 
out complaint. The writer has seen many hundreds of men wounded, 
bleeding, gassed, but with one exception never heard an American 
soldier even moan. The one exception was at the little village of 
Vilcey, south of Metz, where, under violent shell fire, a soldier 
terribly wounded in the head, unconscious, dying in a few minutes, 
was quietly moaning, "My head, my head!" A physician at Chateau- 
Thierry and later battles, on whose operating table thousands had 
gone under the knife, said to the writer that with the exception of 
a few soldiers whom he had placed under ether, he had not heard 
a. single doughboy either moan or groan all summer long. They 
looked out for "number one" back in the training camp, but up 
there they thought of each other first. There were of course excep- 



18 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

tions to this, but the writer saw none nor heard of any in the actual 
fighting. The soldier whose legs were both shot off and who said com- 
mandingly, when they were lifting him to the ambulance, "Get out 
o' here; take those fellows who are really hurt," expressed the real 
spirit seen everywhere in the terrible line. Again and again have I 
felt as Moses must have felt when he removed his shoes on the holy 
ground. I have many times felt like baring my head in the presence 
of men who in the stress of peril acted so much like Christ, and never 
seemed conscious of it. Can anything ever be finer at such a time 
than the wounded lad who, when told that he must go West in a 
few minutes, quietly replied, "Oh, well, it does n't matter; my livin* 
would n't win this war anyway." Not his living or dying, but to 
win that war, was the thing that mattered. By the thousands they 
fought, suffered, and died in the same spirit. 

It was likewise shown in their attitude toward the horrible in- 
convenience and privations while they were fighting. Boys who had 
never slept except between two clean sheets, and had eaten only 
the best of food, delicately served, there slept, lived, fought, in 
the indescribable French mud and chill and rain, went long without 
food and water, sometimes weeks without enough of the latter 
to wash or shave in, and never complained of it, but constantly 
joked about it. 

And this suggests the third striking characteristic every one saw 
in the doughboy who saw him in action, namely, his unbelievable 
humor. No other characteristic so convinced the thoughtful ob- 
server quickly and fully that the doughboy was simply invincible 
than did his humor in the hour of peril and suffering. It took some 
time and thought to see the real meaning and significance of the 
jokes, rough and fine, that flew like shuttles in the warp and woof of 
destiny. Finally it began to dawn upon one. This is what it meant: 
"Play the game, play the game. No matter if you die, PLAY THE 
GAME!" And how they did play the game, bless their wonderful 
hearts! How they bucked each other up in the moments of peril, 
by their cheerful ribaldry and unfailing fun. Their silly war songs 
and parodies, flung like a gay defiance at death and the Hun, made 
the very desolation of ghastly walls of shattered homes and twisted 
stumps of once stately trees less somber and terrifying; made the 
mud and the cold less grim and cheerless; and made the cause of the 
savage in the opposite trenches seem what it really was from the 
moment our men went into the line — a lost cause and hopeless. 



WAR RECORD 19 

The New Yorker with both legs off, laughing as he said, "Won't 
I look dandy going down Fifth Avenue selling pencils!" The soldier 
in the front trench under a German box-barrage, shouting to his 
nearest neighbor ten feet away, who could of course hear not a 
word, but who, when the din was over, asked, "What in thunder 
were you saying?" replied, "Why, you bloomin' idiot, I had the 
hiccoughs and I wanted you to say something to frighten me!" 
The doughboy in the St. Mihiel drive who captured a German 
officer's horse, overcoat, and helmet, donned the two latter, mounted 
the horse, and rode back to meet the next wave of doughboys with 
his hands up yelling, "Kamerad! Kamerad!" The artillery lad 
who painted along the long barrel of the 16-inch gun, with its 
messages constantly going over our heads into Metz, the name of 
"Old Dutch Cleanser!" — these are but typical of the spirit of the 
American soldier in action. An army like that will never be whipped. 
They will die by the thousands, die with genial jest upon their 
lips, but they will never be conquered. 

A fourth characteristic was the doughboy's fundamental and 
supporting faith in God and the future. About it he talked little, 
but any one who ever says that the American soldier in France was 
without religion betrays either his ignorance of the soldier, his 
own lack of religion, or an incapacity to recognize essential religious 
faith when he sees it. It was there, often under even a profane 
exterior. The big-boned Texan who came up with rifle and pack 
at the close of a quiet little communion service held during a brief 
lull, and said, with tears in his eyes, "That was a damn fine time," 
was uttering in his own way a great and comforting faith in a 
Christ who went also to the cross rather than fail of his duty. There 
were countless lads who could have written what one wrote home 
to his mother, — "Dear Mother, I believe, I have found my faith 
here. Every one finds his belief — his faith — here, and I have found 
mine." The entire space allotted me could be filled with evidences 
of the soldier's faith in God, out there in the line of death, however 
he may honor or dishonor that faith when he is back home in safety. 

A fifth characteristic of the American lad in the atmosphere of 
the battle line was his idealism. The writer has for twenty years 
mingled sympathetically with the youth of his native land, and 
believes that in normal times of peace seventy-five in every hundred 
of them are essentially selfish, self-centered, simply looking into 
the future with the ambition for success — prosperity — in some trade 



20 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

or profession. Suddenly came a great call from humanity, and rang 
like a mighty challenge in the soul of American youth, calling into 
life every dormant altruistic capacity of which they were capable. 

Never in all the scarlet past. 

Since God first placed the suns; 
Not since the Goths drank deep of blood 

And women feared the Huns; 
Not since the hordes of Attila 

Spread their flame and shame. 
Came a call so clear, for men to hear. 

Who would fight in freedom's name. 

And up they came from log hut and palace to answer the world 
call for help. The nearer they approached the fighting line, the 
nobler was their sacrificial idealism, until at the front it seemed 
that every man of them had laid his life upon the altar of humanity's 
great need. Countless thousands of them had never before expe- 
rienced the luxury and joy of forgetting themselves and giving life 
for others. There they discovered it, — with surpriseandjoy they found 
it, — and again and again they have said to me in quiet moments, 
"If I should get back home, it does not seem to me I could ever 
settle down to do what I had planned to do — just make money .^' 

Back out of the line and homeward the writer came with fear 
lest we should not be able as a people to meet and greet the returning 
doughboy with an idealism like that. If we cannot and do not, we 
are unworthy of him and what he did for us all. 

As we crept up the misty, foggy harbor of New York, that 
October Sunday morning, three hundred wounded boys, legless, 
armless, with cots and bandages and crutches, were crowded out 
on the deck peering eagerly in every direction for a first glimpse of 
home. All at once she came, out of the mist and cloud, holding 
aloft her lighted torch, "Liberty Enlightening the World." It was 
one of the most beautiful, solemn moments ever given to a man to 
live. There were many moist eyes that had faced death with a look 
steady and undimmed. Standing in the midst of them I heard a 
wounded doughboy behind me talking to himself. This is what he 
said: ^^ Now she can lower her arm a bit." He had helped her to do 
her world task. He had given some of his blood to help make her 
message good. He was standing in the midst of three hundred, 
every one of whom had given some of his blood to make her message 
good. To us all comes the deathless challenge, — to make her mes- 
sage good at home, in all the earth, or we shall be unworthy of 
the sacrifice of these wonderful lads.

VARIETIES OF WAR EXPERIENCE WITH THE YOUNG 
MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION IN FRANCE 

Samuel Dupertuis 
[Rev. Samuel Dupertuis, a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
and a graduate of the University of Puget Sound, '14, received the degree of A.M. 
from Boston University in 1916.] 

AMONG the many chapters to be written on the subject of 
- the great war, none will be filled with more human interest 
and ennobling experiences than the recital of the services rendered 
by the Young Men's Christian Association and kindred organiza- 
tions. The writer is not a professional Y. M. C. A. man — he is a 
clergyman and a college professor. It was his high privilege to spend 
fifteen months in war work in France. The experiences here re- 
lated are not unique; they are rather typical of those of the thou- 
sands of men and women who were engaged in war work. 

I went to France in September, 1917, and was first assigned 
to serve in Paris as interpreter. Then one day came an urgent call 
to the office to send a Y. M. C. A. man with equipment to a camp 
just set up some thirty-five miles north of Paris. I was chosen 
for that service. I found that the camp was the Base Camp 
of the United States Army Ambulance Service with the French 
Army. 

The camp was situated in an abandoned farmhouse, the rooms 
being used for offices, the material being stored in the barn 
and stable. The men slept in their ambulances. It was late in 
October. The rains had set in and the red-clay mud was thick and 
sticky. The atmosphere was damp and chilly. The men worked 
all day in the rain and damp, ate their meals outside in the rain, 
and when night came crept into their ambulances with their clothes 
wet and their feet covered with mud. There was no room for them 
to sit in, no fire, no place in which to read or write or spend the 
evening. It was a gloomy life they were living until barracks 
could be built for them and roads made to keep them out of the 
mud. 

A cheer went up among the men when they saw the "Y" man 
ride into the camp. Seeing the conditions, I immediately secured a 
tent and equipment — tables, chairs, stoves, etc. — from our Paris 
warehouse, and with the volunteer help of soldiers soon had the 
tent up and ready for opening. 



WAR RECORD 23 

Our grand opening was on Hallowe'en night. There were three 
hundred men in camp. A program was drawn up consisting of 
songs, readings, and speeches by the men. Everybody, including 
all the officers, was there. The commanding officer made a speech, 
the Y. M. C. A. man spoke from the standpoint of that organiza- 
tion, and amid general and enthusiastic rejoicing the tent was 
formally dedicated to the soldiers as their meeting-place, their 
comfort, their home. But after that came the surprise of the 
evening — for they had been warned that a surprise was in store 
for them. After the program there was uncovered, as if by magic, 
a spread that delighted their eyes. But it was not for their eyes 
only; there were coffee, biscuits, cheese, and apples, and row upon 
row of pumpkin pies. "The first I have tasted since I left home;" 
"Just like home;" "The kind mother used to make," were the com- 
ments heard on every hand. 

Yes, it was to be a home for the men. If I were asked to give in 
one word the significance of the work of the Y. M. C. A. in France, 
I would reply, "Home." These young college men — for they were 
volunteers from American colleges — had no home in France; 
the "Y" tent was now to be their home. Up to this moment they 
had had no place for reading, writing, or social intercourse; now 
they were to come to the warm, comfortable, home-like tent to 
spend the evening or leisure hours. Here they had music, books, 
games, a canteen. Frequently we had an entertainment in the even- 
ing, consisting usually of musical concerts given by American or 
French artists sent by the Entertainment Bureau of the Y. M. C. A., 
in Paris. The "Y" man, being a teacher of French, organized 
classes in French for both men and officers, so that most of the 
several thousand men who passed through the camp on their way 
to the front obtained some elementary knowledge of French through 
that means. On Sundays we had a formal religious service at ten 
o'clock in the morning, as much like a church service in America 
as possible, and in the evening we frequently had a free-for-all, 
general "sing." The men were happy. The discipline was much 
improved. The officers were delighted. The men would say every 
day, "This is just like home. What would we do without the 
Y. M. C. A.?" During the whole winter the most popular place 
in the camp was the "Tent," where there was never a dull 
moment. 

I think, however, that it can truthfully be said that the greatest 



24 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

factor in the work of the Y. M. C. A. was not its equipment, not the 
canteens, but the human factor, the personal touch, the "Y" man. 
He, after all, was the real center and often the source of all the 
manifold activities of his organization in the camp. He was there. 
Men came to him for information on a hundred subjects or for 
advice. They read him some of their letters; they asked him to 
write to their parents; they sometimes confided their love affairs 
to him; they came to him for religious advice. It was the personal 
touch, the kind word, the hearty handshakes, that not infrequently 
put a new heart into a discouraged and homesick man. 

By-products are sometimes of greater importance than the 
direct product. There is a by-product of the work of the welfare 
organizations in France to which reference is not often made, but 
which is to me of very great significance. It is the imparting to the 
French people of many of our American ideals. I recall two striking 
incidents. When, in the fall of 1917, we were near to our annual 
Thanksgiving day, and were making extensive preparations for a 
celebration worthy of the occasion, the French civilians in the 
community asked me the meaning of this holiday. I told them 
that it is the custom for our President once a year to make a 
proclamation calling on the people everywhere to cease from their 
labors and give formal thanks, both in private and in public, to 
Almighty God for His benefits during the year. "It is one of your 
church holidays," they said. And when I replied that it was not a 
church but a national holiday, they exclaimed, "You are a very 
religious people. That explains your unique ideals and your great- 
ness." I found after many conversations with people of every class, 
from unlearned peasants to persons of refinement and culture, 
that the whole American effort in the war, with its colossal pro- 
portions, its marvel of organization, its welfare work, its philan- 
thropy, the good behavior and superb valor of our men, and our 
devotion to the great ideal of Liberty, is regarded as an expression 
of our religion as a people. Whether this conception is correct or 
not may be questioned by some, nevertheless it cannot help exerting 
a great moral influence upon those who interpret our effort in 
that light. 

In the spring of 1918 we observed "Mother's Day" in our camp. 
In preparation for it I asked every man to secure a white flower 
to wear in honor of the day; and at an entertainment where there 
were many civilians I asked them if they would help us secure flowers 



WAR RECORD 25 

for decorations. "Yes, gladly," they answered in a hearty chorus. 
When the day came we were almost buried under flowers, — potted 
flowers, palms, cut flowers, and flowers from garden and field, — 
all brought by civilians. At the suggestion of a soldier I had re- 
quested the Paris office to send us an American lady of middle age 
to be the guest of the camp for the day and to represent "Mother" 
to us all. 

Sunday came. The program consisted of music and hymns, 
just as in the churches in America; an address on "Mother" by an 
officer, another by a soldier; a speech from the lady who was to 
come; and a fe w words from the "Y" man. The platform was arranged 
like a flower garden. The barrack (we had replaced the tent by a 
barrack) was crowded with soldiers and civilians. The men were 
all eagerly looking for the lady, the guest of the day. It is not 
difficult to imagine the tumultuous applause when I led to 
the platform, among the flowers, not one American lady of 
middle age, but two bright, modest "Y" girls — far below middle 
age. 

The service was religious and impressive. One of the girls gave 
to the boys a talk that they will not soon forget. The girls were the 
guests of the officers for the noon mess, and of the men for the rest 
of the day. They spent the afternoon in the canteen, serving the 
men. They ate with the men at mess in the evening. There were 
two mess-halls, and one of the girls presided at mess in one hall and 
the other in the other. The "Y" man divided his meal between 
the two halls. Then came the evening. The barrack was arranged 
like a church parlor, with flowers upon stands in the middle of the 
floor, and the seats in a row around the wall. The girls sat in the 
flower garden on the platform. We then had a "sing," and how the 
men sang! For nearly two hours we sang hymns and popular 
songs and had several readings. Each of the girls gave a good, 
wholesome talk to the men, and then served them chocolate and 
cookies. 

To close this memorable day I asked the girls to stand at the 
door as the men went out and shake hands with them, and thus 
every man in the camp had the opportunity of shaking hands with 
a real American girl — a rare treat then in France. The men were 
happy, and will never forget that day. They talked of it for weeks 
afterward. And the civilians! They thought it the most beautiful 
thing they had ever seen — that a day should be so religiously 



26 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

spent in honor of Mother. And so again they were impressed with 
another of our beautiful ideals. This day was spent in similar manner 
in hundreds of camps throughout France, and the total impress 
upon the people must have been great. 

My next experience was a trip to the front. It was there, in 
company with another "Y" man, that I took supplies to our men 
right up to the lines, under shell fire, sometimes in full view of the 
Germans. I can truly say that the Y. M. C. A. was with the men 
at the front, sharing their hardships and dangers. On a trip of a 
hundred and fifty miles along the front I found the Y. M. C. A. 
everywhere, serving the men in tents with canteen, reading and 
writing material, entertainments, and religious services. It was 
everywhere an oasis in the desert to the men. 

There is one week in my life I can never forget. I was then 
stationed in the headquarters of the Y. M. C. A. in Paris. Two 
days after the great offensive of the Germans on July 14, 1918, 
word came to us that volunteer workers were needed in the hospitals 
of the city, for the wounded were pouring in in large numbers. 
Leaving my desk I hastened to one of the largest hospitals. Soon 
I found myself, with many others, busy caring for the men as they 
were brought in. They were nearly all Americans. They came in 
ambulance loads — in whole trains of ambulances. They poured 
in by scores — by hundreds — daily. A large percentage of them 
were stretcher cases. We would unload them from the am- 
bulances and lay them down in rows upon the floor of the large 
receiving ward. A doctor would ascertain the nature of their wounds 
— they had all received first-aid treatment. Then we would remove 
their clothing, often cutting it off with scissors, piece by piece. 
After putting night clothes on them we carried them to the bath- 
room and then to the operating room. There were five operating 
rooms, with four and five tables in each. Operations went on day 
and night without ceasing in all the rooms for one week. About four 
thousand men were cared for during that week. They were wounded 
in every conceivable way and place, with shrapnel or machine gun, 
rifle bullet or gas. Some were only slightly wounded, some seriously, 
others fatally. What impressed me most was not their wounds nor 
their sufferings, but their wonderful patience. To see men, suffering 
from serious wounds, lie for many hours on a hard stretcher waiting 
for their turn on the operating table, and that without a murmur, 
was ennobling. With what utter devotion we worked with them! We 



WAR RECORD 27 

almost forgot that we ever got tired. We worked day and night 
without time for sleep or rest. I worked most of the time with a 
doctor who had five hours' sleep in five days. I had but little more. 
We did not mind it. We were happy to do what we could. The men 
were always glad to see a Y. M. C. A. man around them. Many 
would tell us their experiences. 

Not a few men died each day. I remember one Saturday morn- 
ing, just at daybreak, after I had carried stretchers all night long, 
I was carrying men from the operating room to their beds, when a 
nurse said to me, "Take this man quickly to his bed and give this 
note to the nurse." With another man I carried him to a bed. 
The nurse administered some powerful stimulant and said to me, 
"This man cannot last long. I am too busy to stay with him. We 
must not let him die alone. Won't you stay with him?" I did, of course. 
He was a fine looking young man of about twenty-six years. He 
lay there unconscious, gasping for breath. I stayed all alone with 
him for about twenty minutes, when without a struggle he ceased 
breathing and paid the great price for human liberty. As I sat there 
by his side I tried in my sympathy to take the place of his loved 
ones, and as my tears fell my heart went out to them in sorrow- 
I took his address, and after many months finally found where 
his mother lived. I wrote to her and told her how a Y. M. C. A. 
man watched by her son until the last, taking her place as best he 
could. Her letter of gratitude to me is a treasure I shall forever 
keep. 

At this writing I am in a Foyer du Soldat, the French Y. M. C. A. 
We serve men chocolate from the canteen and many articles from 
the bazar. We have entertainments several nights each week, 
about 800 men filling the room each night. I teach a class in Eng- 
lish. It is inspiring to see these young French "poilus" earnestly 
trying to learn English. One night recently I gave a talk on America. 
The room was crowded. Again and again the men cheered as I told 
them of our ideals and our attitude toward the French nation. 
They cheer when I step upon the platform. They cheer when I step 
down into the audience. They gather around me in groups and ask 
questions. They say to me, "We want our country to possess those 
great ideals which are yours." 

Among the many results achieved by the Y. M. C. A. in France 
not the least will be the interpretation of our American ideals to 
the French people.

HARRY WEBB FARRINGTON 

HARRY WEBB FARRINGTON, Theology '10, saw service 
overseas and returned with the title of Honorary Cuirassier 
of the First Class of the French Army. This entitled him to wear 
the French uniform and to membership in one of the oldest and most 
distinguished cavalry regiments in France. Mr. Farrington re- 
ceived this high honor in recognition of his services in installing the 
Y. M. C. A. Foyers du Soldat in the French Army. 

He sailed for France March 1, 1918. On his arrival he was 
assigned to work among the French soldiers. He began in Vancia 
among the automobile drivers and wounded men behind the lines; 
his work in organizing and stimulating athletics among the men soon 
attracted the attention of the French soldiers at Lyons, and he was 
asked to go there to the largest permanent camp in France. 

Starting the work single handed he, in less than a year, built up 
a large organization with complete athletic fields, four huts, volley- 
ball, basket-ball, hockey, and other games. Mr. Farrington worked 
from the poilu up instead of from the officers down. The sight 
of an American playing games and toiling day and night in 
building athletic fields and handball courts, excited the wonder at 
first of the French officers. They soon became impressed with his 
whole-hearted devotion to the French soldiers, and joined cordially 
in cooperating with this representative of the Y. M. C. A. He was 
given two lieutenants, eight under officers, and hundreds of men to 
assist him. He was made official athletic instructor of the military 
camp. When he was about to return to America, he was given 
the honorary membership in the regiment and an official invitation 
to return and become head of the Foyers du Soldat in the French 
Army. 

The order conferring the rank of Cuirassier on Mr. Farrington 
read as follows in the original: 

"Se faisant I'interprete de tous les officiers. Grades & Cavaliers 
des d6p6ts des 1^ et 10* Regiments de Cuirassiers, le Lieutenant- 
Colonel, Commandant les depots de Cuirassiers de Lyon, Nomme: 

"Cuirassier de lere Classe, honoraire, 
HARRY WEBB FARRINGTON, Syracuse & Harvard University 
(Am^rique), en reconnaissance de tous les services qu'il a rendus aux 
Cuirassiers de la Part-Dieu, de son d^vouement inlassable dans 
I'organisation des jeux athl6tiques, et en particulier dans la fondation 
du "Foyer du Soldat" qui a augmente dans de grandes proportions 
le bien-^tre des Cavaliers du Quartier."

Mr. Farrington has embodied his thrilling experiences in France 
in a collection of poems. One of these, "France Calls to Me," is espe- 
cially well known both at home and in France. We herewith give 
in full another of his poems, entitled "The Face of France." 



The Face of France 

1 

Yesterday 

Our France was fair, 

Like a gracious girl 

With a joyous air; 
Yesterday 

A smile was there, 

With laughing eyes 

And wind-tossed hair. 
For her waving locks and soft, light hair. 
Were the trees and the grain in the summer air; 
And her deep, red cheeks and laughing eyes. 
Were the sun-kissed clouds of the bright, blue skies. 
Yesterday 

Our France was fair; 

Her face was free 

From the lines of care. 



But to-day 

Our France is marred, 

Like a widowed girl 

From her mate debarred; 
Ah, to-day 

Her face is scarred 

With hollowed cheeks 

And wrinkles hard. 
For her hollowed cheeks and sunken eyes 
Are the deep shell-holes, where her glory lies; 
And the hard, drawn lines on her once smooth brow, 
Are the furrowed fields of the trenches now. 
And to-day 

Our France is marred; 

Her face from the gaze 

Of the world is barred. 



30 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 



To-morrow 

Our France is strong. 

Like a girl mature 

Who has conquered wrong; 
To-morrow 

She sings a song, 

In tune with the sound 

Of the Builder's throng. 
For the serious song from her finer face 
Is the sound of restoring her ravished place; 
And her chastened color, and deeper eyes, 
Are the features seen where a New France lies. 
To-morrow 

Our France is strong. 

Mature, noble woman 

Who conquered wrong.

THE FOYER DU SOLDAT 
Harry Webb Farrington 

[Harry Webb Farrington is a graduate of Syracuse University, '07, and of 
the School of Theology of Boston University, '10. He worked among the French 
soldiers as a Y. M. C. A. secretary. For his services he was awarded the unique 
distinction of Brevet de Cuirassiers de lere Classe Honoraire in the French Army.] 

THE morning war was declared a telegram offering my services 
as a chaplain was sent to Washington; unfortunately it was 
received by a personal friend, who advised me to stay at my par- 
ticular task, as there were plenty of men less needed at home. 

However, some time later there came to my ears from an 
Italian street organ the strains of the "Marseillaise." Before it 
ended new sounds and visions came to me — the murmur of pupils 
and teachers in underground schools, young widows and old women 
sitting on debris and staring into space, the moaning wind, coursing 
through broken church towers, and the groans of wounded soldiers. 
And when I arose and came to myself I was in Hotel Astor in 
Bordeaux. 

En route to Paris every glance out of the car window was 
a "Millet"or a "Corot." No wonder they said, "They shall not 
pass." 



WAR RECORD 31 

At Orleans I heard the "Maid" passing on the voices that had 
spoken to her. They were louder and more definite in the capital 
when "Dri" Davis, a Syracuse classmate, told of France's suffer- 
ings, heroisms, and needs. 

Paris, with its air raids and the long guns, was a tragic drama. 
While waiting to get into the French Army, it was impossible not 
to write poetry. After some temporary service with the American 
troops in the Marne and in speaking to troops, consternation seized 
me at being sent to Fort du Vancia, near Lyons, instead of to 
Soissons, on the front. 

I. Vancia, 

A poet's paradise. Real work began about 4.30 p.m., but being 
the only American within a radius of ten miles, the initials on my 
collar spelled out, "Your Motto Christian American." Four words 
tell the story. 

1. Perils. Being out of range of guns and planes, 1 experienced 
the perils of loafing, lures of the near-by city, brooding over one's 
own troubles and difficulties with French colleagues, mere routine 
of giving boys football to kick around in their own way, and counting 
up dirty paper money at night. This would not back up Pershing's 
reasons for suggesting to Petain, "a *Y' man and program in every 
regiment." The job was to get as near the war-winning game as 
possible, and not to do literary work, see the country, or secure 
political capital. We were to add something new to the French 
Army. 

2. Personnel. I was blessed with a good colleague, Mr. 
Doste, an Alsatian Roman Catholic. Our harmony came from 
keeping our minds on the poilu and his needs. "You have the 
rubbish of the French Army," I was told. It was untrue, although 
they were what might be called the slow-pokes, clodhoppers, and 
good-for-nothing-elsers. They included young and old wounded 
men, also "auxiliaires," fitted for little else than to run autos. 
Our job was to make the younger ones more alert and keep up the 
morale of all. 

3. Program. I soon saw that, left alone, the war- weary poilus 
were contented to drink chocolate, write letters, look at blurred 
films, and, if very active, kick the soccer ball a little. Aside from 
"jeux de boules," there was no recreation. We started with the 



32 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

game of "horse-shoes," first as a solitaire, then with a few observers. 
In my play I showed such enthusiasm that they first thought it 
the American national game. So sincerely did they appreciate and 
enter into this game that one night at 9 o'clock, I was on my knees 
with them measuring, by the little lighters (briquettes), the shoe 
nearest the peg. My impatient cook was calling me to count up the 
money. "Tranquille," I replied; "this is more important." 

Then followed two courts for volley ball, young against the 
old, until they used to deceive me as to time, in order to play longer. 
Three jeuxde boules courts were constructed, a fine croquet ground, 
an open theater, and finally a real baseball diamond. Permission 
from the engineers being wanting to cut down the trees, one of 
the men was changed into a most intelligent mole; phantom Boche 
planes nightly passed, and between their deadly aim and his intui- 
tion the trees disappeared and nobody was unhappy. 

True, no expert players were developed, but they went away 
with the principles and the enthusiasm. I did not have to greet 
them first, when the day's work began at 7 a.m. instead of 4.30 p.m. 
The result was that on a visit of Major General Hibiki of the 
Japanese Army, who spoke to a crowded hutful of men who re- 
mained indoors after he left, he found outdoors seven different 
forms of physical recreation. The gratifying thing was that noth- 
ing was staged, and that the men would have been there regard- 
less of his visit. No game ceased with his inspection of something 
else. 

When the first companies of the volunteer Siamese Army to 
France were assigned to come to Vancia for training, it was the 
Red Triangle program prepared for them that saved their morale 
and demonstrated to the French officers the fundamental philos- 
ophy and absolute indispensability of the "Y." 

4. Products. At Fort Sermenas, a mile away, a place discov- 
ered while we were seeking a short cut to the tramway, some 
library facilities and recreation were installed, greatly to the 
appreciation of the officers and every man, many of whom had 
visited Vancia. 

Fort Sathony, two miles away, was the famous home of 4,00(> 
Zouaves. My most alert boys, sent over there, would revisit me 
and say: "lis ont beaucoup de terrain pour jouer la, mais pas 
d'equipement ou de direction." Our officers intermingled. Finally 
I was invited to visit the officers there. The most impressive 



WAR RECORD 33 

experience was in finding one of my boys in company with a young 
wounded aviator, the light-weight boxing champion of France. 

The commandant went to Paris to urge the Foyer du Soldat 
to do something. It was hard to resist the lure of the fine athletic 
field and the alert Zouaves, but there was a more needy call from 
elsewhere. 

II. Part Dieu 

Ten miles into Lyons, in the heart of this great and ancient city, 
is the largest walled-in caserne of France, — "La Part Dieu," — the 
home, drill grounds, and training school of cuirassier, artillery, 
train, and automobile, with seven to ten thousand men going and 
coming all the time. Some officers from there had visited us and 
urged us to try to do something for them. Their invitation was re- 
ferred to headquarters, with the final result that I was allowed to 
go there. 

The proposition at Part Dieu involved some new policies on 
the part of the Foyer du Soldat, Y. M. C. A., or Union Franco 
Americaine, since it was the first venture into a permanent caserne 
or military establishment. I was willing to go there, first because 
of the distressing need. There was nothing for these men except 
dark, dingy wine cafes or canteens. There was one football there, 
but it was no good. Then I saw there was an opportunity to make 
a permanent demonstration of a French Army Y. M. C. A., im- 
possible in the fighting area. Past experience prepared me for 
this new work, a work of which, as I learned before leaving, one of 
the colonels said, "He will never arrive." 

L I began from the bottom up, by winning at once the respect, 
confidence, and friendship of the secretary to the adjutant of the 
commandant. 

2. Instead of impressing ideas, an example was set by working 
just as long and hard as my humblest poilu in the enterprises 
undertaken. 

3. In place of autocratic domineering, responsibility and posi- 
tion were put upon others, wherever possible. Mediocre work by 
them was given the preference over excellent work by myself. 

4. I learned that what the French undertook was done thor- 
oughly and artistically. 

Athletics. With the resources at hand and the solicited co- 
operation of as many parts of the service as possible, one of the 



34 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

most practical and beautiful double volley-ball courts in France 
was constructed. The first demonstration, at 8 o'clock one morning, 
by the white-duck clad artillery lads, witnessed by the leading 
officers, was beyond all expectations. This was followed by two 
other courts; two fine stone-line boundary basket-ball courts; 
three jeux de boules alleys; and finally, after great labor, which in- 
volved many weeks and the transportation from a great distance 
of thousands of cubic feet of cinders, one playground and one 
regular baseball diamond. As many as twelve games were in 
operation simultaneously. In addition to raising the morale and 
alertness of the men, and aside from the voluntary participation 
of the men whenever free to play, the work became a required part 
of the military program. 

Physical Education. The officers were quick to see the strategic 
and military value of the free-movement, out-of-doors American 
games. As a result, the physical education of all the young soldiers 
was put into my hands. I was given a staff of ten grade and under- 
officers, and beginnings were made to correlate the formalistic 
exercises of the French Army with distinctive American games. As 
a by-product, interest was aroused in the boys' schools, and the 
early morning of July 4 witnessed the introduction of baseball to 
the boys of the famous Lycee Ampere in Pare Tete d'Or. 

Apparatus was installed and baseball and volley-ball were 
started at Loyasse, in the "Central Regionale Instruction Phy- 
sique," one of the eight military training schools of France. 

Foyers. My theory gained from the experience of the Associa- 
tion in America was opposed to that of some of the French Foyer 
du Soldat leaders, who believed that soldiers would not be content 
to stay in a "prison-like" caserne, even if the "real things were 
going on inside." I therefore saw that to establish an Army Y. M. 
C. A. for, by, and with the army it would be necessary for me to 
"stoop to conquer." 

At the outset of the work I had my credentials from Mr. D. A. 
Davis, the American director, and left Paris for Part Dieu with the 
seconding of the full program of work by Mr. Wm. S. Coffin, the 
other American director, and with his permission took, in the bag- 
gage car, four giant baskets of equipment for the huts. For several 
months these baskets rested untouched. Then, while the leaders 
in Paris were debating the possibility of such a work, I loaned 
myself five hundred francs, borrowed five hundred from the secretary 



WAR RECORD 35 

to our American regional director, and on one of the "up days," 
with a slender thread of permission from the director, I "dug in," 
so that when the leaders came to consider and inspect there was 
too much going on, and it was rooted too deeply in the hearts of 
the soldiers and officers, to be disturbed. 

Four foyers of varying sizes had been established in the great 
barracks, and twenty-five soldiers, from privates to sous-officiers, 
were employed and paid modestly out of the necessary profits of 
the canteens. A French colleague and an American assistant were 
sent. I was virtually made an athletic officer in the French Army, 
and so greatly was our American effort appreciated that, before 
leaving, the governor-general attended, and celebrated artists of 
the Grand Theater assisted at a monster concert. 

Part Dieu being the only gasoline station between Marseilles 
and Dijon or Metz, we were, with the establishment of our foyers, 
able to give aid and comfort to thousands of American boys in the 
convoys. 

We had at least laid such foundations that when I left for Amer- 
ica, Mr. Frank C. Hazen, a wealthy and well-known New Yorker, 
left his wonderful work at quai de Retz to take charge of the foyers. 
In addition, two men were secured for the athletics and a professor 
for the English and Americanization work. 

For the first time in my life I found myself tired and worn, but 
that was forgotten in the warm and tender appreciation. In spite 
of my progress in French, it was only when my lips touched the 
rough cheeks of some of my old poilus that I could make them feel 
my real affection; and when Colonel Schweiger embraced me with 
a kiss, I knew it was deeper than a mere formality. 

In a way I was glad that public religious activities on the part 
of the Americans were prohibited in the French Army, for in a thou- 
sand ways my actions could better exemplify the Jesus who went 
about doing good. 

The French people, when they realized the presence of the 
American soldiers, could not interpret it except in the terms of 
idealism and the actions of a religion of democracy; and when they 
felt the service of the men and women without weapons, who fought 
for their morale and personal welfare, they saw a Christ stepping 
out of the paintings and pulpits, the lofts and the lecterns, and 
moving among them as one who ministers. 



36 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

Because so much of my work was constructive, in fifteen hundred 
other places it was deeper and more thorough. It was but an im- 
perfect miniature of a part of the deeper impact of America upon 
France.

BASE HOSPITAL FORTY-FOUR 

Wesley T. Lee 

[Dr. Wesley T. Lee is Professor of Diseases of the Skin in the School of Med- 
icine of Boston University.] 

SHORTLY after the United States Government declared war 
upon the Imperial German Empire, a meeting of the staff of 
the Massachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital was held, at which it 
was unanimously voted that an offer be made to the American 
Red Cross to organize a base hospital in connection with this institu- 
tion. The authorization for the formation of Base Hospital Forty- 
four was shortly forthcoming, and an intensive ten-day financial 
campaign resulted in a large oversubscription of the 330,000 re- 
quired for the purchase of its equipment. In response to an appeal 
to the members of the profession associated with the hospital, about 
seventy physicians offered their services, and thirty-two were 
selected to serve on the staff of the Base Hospital. Of this number, 
the following men were members of the Faculty of Boston Uni- 
versity School of Medicine: Drs. David L. Belding, Orville R. 
Chadwell, Thomas E. Chandler, Sanford B. Hooker, Wesley T. 
Lee, Howard Moore, J. Arnold Rockwell, William K. S. Thomas, 
and William F. Wesselhoeft. In addition to these members of the 
Faculty, the following graduates of the school were chosen: Drs. 
Kirke L. Alexander, Milo C. Green, John W. Harvey, John A. Hay- 
ward, Ralph H. Hopkins, Harold L. Leland, Harry F. Morin, 
Roland O. Parris, Harold L. Ripley, Warren S. Shields, and Ralph 
C. Wiggin. 

Dr. Wesselhoeft was appointed Director of the Base Hospital, 
and Mrs. Alice H. Flash, Superintendent of Nurses at the Massa- 
chusetts Homoeopathic Hospital, was selected as Chief Nurse. 
One hundred nurses were enrolled, and an enlisted personnel of two 
hundred was chosen from nearly two thousand applicants. 

During the summer the task of organizing and equipping the 
Unit progressed rapidly. The officers received their commissions; 
physical examinations, vaccinations, and inoculations were done; 
many of the enlisted men received training in the hospital wards; 



WAR RECORD 37 

and the tremendous undertaking of purchasing the vast amount of 
necessary supplies was carried forward. Every effort was made to 
complete the work as quickly as possible, for it was supposed that 
the Unit would be called into active service early in the fall; but the 
weeks slipped by, and nothing more substantial developed than 
innumerable rumors concerning the future movements of the hos- 
pital. Opportunity was given to develop and perfect plans for the 
activities of the organization; to select apparatus which would be 
especially useful in the work of the members of the staff; and for 
the special training of many of the officers in the military schools, 
camps, and hospitals. Twenty of the nurses volunteered for tem- 
porary service, and were assigned for duty in some of the canton- 
ments. 

The long deferred and anxiously awaited action of the War 
Department came late in February, 1918, and the mobilization of 
the Enlisted Personnel occurred at the Out Patient Department 
of the Massachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital on Sunday, March 
10. Lunch was served, and an inspiring address was delivered by 
the director. Mr. Ezra H. Baker, President of the Board of Trus- 
tees, extended his felicitations and good wishes in behalf of the 
institution. The Command proceeded in special trolley cars to the 
armory in Charlestown, where the task of outfitting the men was at 
once begun. The garments of civilian life were discarded, and these 
boys became soldiers from their skins out. The following day was 
spent in adjustments of seemingly impossible combinations and 
conditions of equipment, and in the evening the detachment en- 
trained and proceeded to Camp Dix, New Jersey. 

During the next three weeks the men were subjected to a course 
of intensive military training, and their development as soldiers was 
rapid and inspiring. They entered their new life with a determina- 
tion to "make good," and the morale of the organization was at the 
maximum. On April 1 the Command was transferred to the Camp 
Dix Base Hospital, and the men were assigned to the various de- 
partments of the institution for training. Orders for the mobiliza- 
tion of the Commissioned Personnel and Nurse Corps were received 
early in April. The medical officers reported for duty at Camp 
Dix, while the nurses were divided into detachments and stationed 
in fourteen cantonments for temporary duty. By the middle of 
April the mobilization of Base Hospital Forty-four was practically 
completed. 



38 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

The experiences gained during these weeks of training w,ere very 
valuable, and were conducive to the success of the work done by the 
Unit overseas. The Commanding Officer, Lieut.-Col. Robert H. 
Wilds, arrived, and on April 19 word was received that the Unit 
would sail on May 1. A period of intense activity was inaugurated, 
and frantic efforts were made to complete the equipment and pre- 
pare the endless collections of data which were required. On Sun- 
day, April '22, the fond parents, distressed wives, tearful sweet- 
hearts, and admiring relatives and friends of the brave soldier boys 
flocked into camp by train and automobile, and the adieus were 
said and done. The fateful day arrived — and nothing happened. 
Other days came and went, and still no orders were forthcoming. 
Rumors there were aplenty, but the "Powers that be" preserved 
a sphinx-like silence. Gradually the tension relaxed, work details 
were resumed, and the men settled down to a prolonged period of 
watchful waiting. It was not until July 2 that the overseas orders 
were received. 

On the morning of July 5 the Unit proceeded to Hoboken, and 
the transport was boarded late in the afternoon. During the night 
troops continued to embark, and before morning the boat was com- 
pletely filled with men and freight. The convoy, consisting of fifteen 
transports and a battle cruiser, left New York on the sixth. 

The voyage was replete with interesting happenings and con- 
ditions. The men were not allowed to separate themselves from 
their life-preservers during the entire passage; daily boat drills were 
held; not a ray of light was permitted to escape from the vessel at 
night; target practice by the gunners, the zigzagging evolutions of 
the ships, and the frequent signalings were sources of interest; sub- 
marine scares were daily occurrences, and the vessel fairly seethed 
with rumors; physical inspections, music, and letter- writing 
helped to pass the time. There were many varieties of weather, but 
the atmospheric conditions were generally favorable and the sea 
comparatively smooth. Many were afflicted with "mal-de-mer," 
and some even "cursed the day they were born." During the night 
of July 15 eight destroyers met the convoy, and early in the morning 
of the seventeenth the rugged coast of "Bonny Scotland" was 
clearly seen in the distance. Land was visible during the entire day 
as the fleet proceeded southward, and mine-sweepers, destroyers, 
aeroplanes, and a dirigible acted as guardians. Late in the after- 
noon the convoy approached Liverpool, and on a multitude of 



WAR RECORD 39 

crafts and all along the shores the crowds cheered and waved; bells 
rang, whistles blew, and every evidence of a hearty welcome was 
given. The transport came to anchor in the evening, and the songs 
and cheers of the men on board mingled with the acclaims of those 
on all sides. 

The Unit disembarked the following morning, and late in the 
afternoon entrained and started on the next stage of its journey. 
The fine gardens, green fields, rolling hills, and peaceful villages 
looked good to the travel-worn men who had been twelve days on 
the ocean. Southampton was reached on the morning of the nine- 
teenth, and four days were spent at a "Rest Camp" in this place. 
The skies wept almost continuously, the mess was miserable, the 
accommodations were uncomfortable, and — well, everything. 
The men were glad when the order to proceed arrived on the twenty- 
second, and in company with other detachments they crowded the 
Channel steamer Viper to its utmost capacity. Nobody will forget 
the trip across the Channel; the furious speed of the steamer and 
the awful lurches as the course was suddenly changed; the tempest 
of wind and rain; the impenetrable darkness; the flashing signals of 
the destroyers; and the groans and agonized exertions of the sick. 
Le Havre was reached early the next morning. On the following 
day the Unit proceeded by rail, and early in the morning of 
July 26, the train came to a jerky stop at the little station of 
Pougues-les-Eaux. The protracted period of preparation and trans- 
portation was ended, and Forty-four was about to "do its bit." 

Pougues-les-Eaux is a small town situated near the geographical 
center of France. It is two miles from the Loire River, and is sur- 
rounded by a charmingly picturesque rolling country chiefly occu- 
pied by farms and vineyards. The town is famous for its mineral 
springs, of which the St. Leger is the most renowned, and during the 
summer season has been for many years a popular resort for people 
desiring to "take the cure." With the advent of the United States 
into the war, arrangements were made to lease about twenty build- 
ings to the Government for use as a hospital for the care of American 
soldiers. These buildings varied in size, from capacities of thirty- 
five to three hundred, with several not suitable for patients; in age, 
from a comparatively recent time to an ancient period; and in 
condition, from a fairly well built and well preserved building, to a 
time-worn and neglected structure. The gigantic task of preparing 
these buildings for hospital purposes was presented to Forty-four, 



40 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

and the men went to work with a will. Beds were set up in all 
available places; furniture was placed; carpenters, electricians, 
plumbers, and painters ripped, tore, scraped, altered, and rebuilt 
the interiors of buildings; while details of soldiers and civilian 
employees scrubbed and cleaned. 

The French people were very cordial, and many of the members 
of the Unit soon formed pleasant friendships. Quite a proportion 
of the men began an intensive study of the language, assisted by 
volunteer and professional teachers, and aided and abetted by the 
townspeople. 

The Red Cross representative arrived shortly, and immediately 
formulated plans for the entertainment and comfort of the men of 
the Unit and of the prospective patients. On August 4, the nurses 
reached Pougues. The Nurse Corps had been mobilized in New 
York, and had sailed for France on July 14. After a prolonged trip 
they arrived in Paris, where twenty-four of their number were 
detached for special duty. After their arrival in Pougues, the 
remainder were divided into two groups for duty in large hospital 
centers near by. One of these groups subsequently returned to 
Forty-four and remained during the period of activity of the hospital. 

The first patients were received on August 10, and consisted of 
one hundred and fifty-nine convalescent soldiers from the Mesves 
hospital center. These men were practically all ambulatory, and 
their chief cry was, "When do we eat ?" Daily accessions of patients 
by train and truck soon taxed the capacity of the hospital to its 
limit, and everybody was working to the utmost of his ability. 
Early in October the epidemic of influenza swept over France, and 
about a third of the officers, nurses, and enlisted men were "hors- 
de-combat." Those were trying times for Forty-four, and the 
strength and courage of the members of the Unit were tested to their 
maximum endurance. Two surgical teams were sent to the front 
for a period of six weeks, and several of the officers were temporarily 
detached for service in other places. 

The machinery of the organization was running smoothly, and 
everybody had settled down for a "long pull," when, on November 
11, the ringing of bells, the shrieking of whistles, the displaying of 
flags, and the shouts of the people proclaimed the signing of the 
armistice. The stream of patients entering the hospital ceased to 
flow and the work quickly decreased in amount. Early in Decem- 
ber the last of the patients were transferred, and the real work of 



WAR RECORD 41 

Forty-four was completed. About thirty-seven hundred patients 
had been treated and two hundred surgical operations performed. 
Thirty-three had died. 

On December 15, the Unit was moved to the Mesves hospital 
center. The rain descended profusely and persistently; roofs 
leaked; the awful mud necessitated the constant wearing of hip 
boots; drinking-water was scarce and poor; there was no electricity; 
and there was a penetrating chill in the air. But "fa ne fait rien," 
and everybody was cheerful; the men were Homeward Bound! 
Everything seemed to be in readiness for the word which should 
start the Unit on its journey, and orders were expected daily; but 
Forty-four was doomed to another heart-breaking period in its 
history. Day after day passed with no message from the "Great 
Unknown." Discouraging rumors began to circulate, and several 
of the officers and enlisted men were transferred to other parts of 
the A. E. F. for duty. It looked as though the Unit was to be com- 
pletely broken up and the members retained indefinitely in France. 
The morale of the organization utterly succumbed, and the only 
redeeming feature of this period of profound depression was that 
opportunities were given to most of the men to visit Paris, the 
battlegrounds, and the leave areas in eastern and southern France. 

Orders to move finally arrived, and on March 20 the Unit left 
Mesves, reaching Brest on the twenty-second. Two weeks were 
spent here at Camp Pontanezen. On April 6 the Command boarded 
the Graf IValdersee, and as the men watched the receding shores of 
"Sunny France" their minds were full of thankfulness that their 
period of enforced tenancy of this war-worn section of the earth 
had ended, and that they were on the last lap of the long journey to 
their own country, "God's Country." 

The voyage to America was uneventful, and on Easter Sunday 
morning, April 20, the Statue of Liberty loomed in the distance. 
Cheer upon cheer rose from the soldiers on the ship, and these were 
answered by the welcoming shouts of those who had come down 
the harbor to greet the returning troops. Camp Merritt was 
reached in the afternoon, and after a sojourn of five days, the Unit 
proceeded to Camp Devens, where the final paper work was com- 
pleted and the men mustered out on May 2. 

Thus ended the official existence of Base Hospital Forty-four. 
Through sunshine and shadow, pleasures and hardships, dangers and 
discouragements, hopes and fears, the men had lived and worked 



42 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

in the closest intimacy. Enduring friendships had been formed, 
unchangeable records of good and bad — mostly good — had been 
completed; characters had been moulded; indelible impressions of 
men and methods had been registered; five had made the supreme 
sacrifice. Through all the feelings of joy and thankfulness that the 
end had come, the anticipations of the future, and the satisfaction 
of realizing that the duty had been well performed, there ran a 
sensation of regret that these associations were ended, and that 
there never again would be a complete assemblage of those who had 
comprised the personnel of United States Army Base Hospital 
Forty-four. 



THE AMERICAN RED CROSS 

Mary Katharine Taylor 

[Miss Mary Katharine Taylor is a graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of 
Boston University, '10. She served in the Red Cross as Casualty Searcher and 
Home Service representative at Base Hospital 31, Contrexeville, France. In Feb- 
ruary, 1919, she was transferred to Evacuation Hospital Number 9, Coblenz, 
Germany. Returning to this country in the summer of 1919, she was assigned to 
Red Cross work at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass.] 

"Sincerely yours^ Mary K. Taylor^ Home Communication 
Service, American Red Cross" 

AS I write these words there lies before me a folder containing 
' carbons of about two hundred letters signed "Sincerely yours, 
Mary K. Taylor, American Red Cross," and four worn notebooks 
full of strange little scribbles. I turn at random to a page and read: 

"Bed 31, Ward E-2, wants razor blades." 

"New man in end bed, surgical 3, wants letter written. Urgent." 

"Ask Red Cross Captain whether to give writing-paper to 
wounded Germans." 

"Nurse in pneumonia ward wants Blackjack gum." 

"Tell Major Black New Orleans Red Cross has just cabled that 
his wife is dead." 

"Y. M. C. A. man in officers' ward wants long distance call 
sent to Colombey to find out whether doctor at Field Hospital 
knows where his trousers are." 

"John McCarthy's last words: 'Tell mother the weather is 
fine, and I will be home soon.' " 

And so they go — each hasty little note a story in itself. 



WAR RECORD 43 

As I glance them over I see again the wards of Base Hospital 31, 
and recall the thrilling days of the Argonne drive. One surgical ward 
comes especially to my mind, where the boys lay day after day, 
their arms or legs suspended in splints, and the air blue with the 
smoke of Piedmonts (no "Camels" to be had!) that they smoked 
through the weary hours. And I hear again the cheerful yell, 
"Hey, Red Cross, roll me a cigarette?" greeted with mirth by the 
veterans who were present the day I tried to roll a cigarette for a 
boy who had both arms in splints. What happened? Well — try it, 
ladies. And when you get it carefully rolled, even if it is a little bit 
humpy, dodge the ropes of the hanging splints and lean very 
gently over the man so that he can "lick" it himself. And then let 
your hand shake a little bit from excitement and amusement, and 
something else (for you have just noticed that there is a screen 
around the corner bed, and you know that the plucky little seventeen- 
year-old with the amputated leg is going West). Try it, I say, and 
you will know why Surgical 3 laughed. 

And I can feel again the hush of the pneumonia ward, where 
the nurses and orderlies moved quietly around, clad in white gowns 
and strange masks with tiny holes for their eyes. They seemed 
like the embodied delirium of the fevered patients. The large appa- 
rition in the center of the room was the ward surgeon. Instead of a 
gown he wore an old-fashioned night shirt over his uniform, and 
when he moved his fat puttees gleamed cheerfully through the 
slits in the side. Here I tiptoed from bed to bed, hesitating some- 
times to speak the word that would call a dying boy back from his 
dream-world to the world of pain, yet knowing that his "Write 
mother not to worry and give her my love" would be the most 
precious message one could send a sorrowing mother. 

But it was n't all sad! For days before Christmas the wards 
were strewn with bright tissue paper and tinsel, and the boys made 
decorations and paper dolls for the Christmas tree that I had 
planned for the French children of the village. Big, clumsy boys 
from the mountains of Virginia became expert with the paste and 
water-colors, and sometimes the nurse smiled and took the scissors 
from reluctant fingers, after she had looked at the thermometers. 

Christmas morning, just as they used to do at home, they 
reached out first of all for the presents beside their beds — a Red 
Cross bag full of candy and little gifts, with a message from some 
loyal American woman who may never know how much her work 



44 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

was appreciated, and new socks filled with nuts. Then, boylike, 
they began "swapping" gifts. The cheerful young voices ring out 
in genuine mirth. "My sweater is from Texas — any of you guys 
get one from Iowa? I want to swap!" And further down the row a 
jolly little Irish boy who has lost a leg calls merrily to a neighbor, 
"Hey, cripple, want to swap your shaving cream for one of these 
yere shoe laces? I guess we only rate one apiece!" 

They will never forget the tiny three-year-old girl whom I 
brought in to thank them for their paper dolls. She stood on a chair 
and sang in her sweet baby voice: 

"Eet 's a Ion', Ion' gway to Teeper^rree, 
But my heart zright zhere!" 

Then she sang the "Marseillaise," and waved a little American 
flag. When the boys clapped and shouted, she hesitated a moment 
whether to laugh or cry, and then, with a charming little French 
gesture, she kissed her hand, and hid behind me. But she was only 
coquetting, for she was n't a bit shy as I lifted her up to shake 
hands with each boy. Some of the big mountain men just looked 
at the tiny hand in theirs and turned their heads on the pillows; 
but I think the baby understood. 

But here I 've been seeing pictures, instead of giving an expert 
account of the work of a Red Cross Searcher! The editor of the 
War Volume will be reaching for his waste-basket, and I should 
redeem myself by becoming serious at once. Yet somehow it all 
comes back to me in pictures, and if I can make him see them per- 
haps he will understand. 

"Searching" just means trying to find out from each man the 
exact facts concerning the killed or missing in his company. The 
picture that comes to mind is very clear, — serious, interested faces 
bending over a map while some one points out the town nearest 
to the spot where the shell burst "just as we were coming out of 
the dugout." "Oh, yes, I saw it happen — he was my buddy, and 
we were always together." And the story is told with awful sim- 
plicity by a boy into whose eyes creeps the look that one sees only 
in the eyes of those who have seen unforgettable things. 

"Answering hospital inquiries" was another duty the thought 
of which brings back the registrar's office at night — blinds 
tightly closed, for fear of air raids, and noisy typewriters pounding 
out the new lists of wounded. I search through thousands of cards 
in the files, looking to see if any of the hundreds of names on the 



WAR RECORD 45 

daily list sent out by the Red Cross are among the hospital records. 
These names all represent anguished appeals to the Red Cross for 
news of men who have been reported wounded or killed. As I work, 
two men beside me are keeping up a noisy fire of arrant nonsense — 
but I join in now and then, for I know they are joking to keep up 
their spirits as they inventory the pathetic little keepsakes of the 
boys who have gone West that day. I search through three big 
files of names — "Active," "Transferred," or "Returned to Duty." 
And now and then I take out a card which reads, "Final disposi- 
tion — Death," and put it reverently back in the file that army 
regulations with unconscious felicity have decreed for it — among 
those who have "Returned to Duty." 

Space is too brief for me to share the stories which the letters 
in my folder tell, each giving to sorrowing ones at home details of 
death and burial that they would otherwise never know. As I 
glance through my accounts of the military funerals I see again 
the little cemetery facing the West, on the slope of the lovely hill- 
side behind the village church. As the flag-draped coffins are 
carried through the gate, two little French girls lay beside the 
wreath I place there bouquets of moss and everlasting, tied with the 
tricolors. When the firing-squad has fired the last volley, and "taps" 
has echoed back, they turn to me with some puzzled question: 
"One plays good night so that the dead will sleep, n'est-ce pas?" 
Then, childlike, they run to pick up the empty cartridges, and make 
faces as they pass the enclosure where the "mauvais Boches" are 
buried. But they never forget to kneel and say a little prayer 
before they go, sometimes at the grave of the "grand sergeant" 
who had been a favorite with the village children, sometimes at 
the grave of "I'infirmiere Americaine," to whose funeral half the 
countryside brought armfuls of roses. 

As time goes on they will forget to make faces at the Boches, 
but they will never forget to say their little prayer for the souls of 
the brave American boys who sleep so far from home. The rows 
on rows of simple white crosses will be a mute reminder of America's 
service, and the children of France will tend with loving hands the 
graves of those who rest in foreign soil, but under the same stars 
that watch over France and America.

L'CEUVRE DES PETITS BLESSfiS 

The First Boston University War Charity 
Frances B. S. Waxman 

W ' [Mrs. Frances B. S. Waxman, wife of Dr. Samuel M. Waxman, Assistant Pro- 
fessor of Romance Languages in the College of Liberal Arts of Boston University, 
is American chairman of L'CEuvre des Petits Blesses.] 

TO the Cercle Frangais of Boston University belongs the credit 
and the honor of having been the first of the college organizations 
to interest itself in war relief work. The history of the Paris charity, 
for which the members of the Cercle are patrons, parallels closely 
the course of the Great War. Begun in the fall of 1914, under the 
direction of L' Union des Femmes de France, the work consisted 
during the first winter of the war in sending supplies to the sorely- 
tried field hospitals in France. Two French ladies. Miles. Guillier 
and Aguais, offered their pension, at 21 rue Valette, Paris, as a dis- 
tributing base for this work. The money which supported the charity 
was contributed largely by persons who had at various times 
stopped at the pension and who had therefore a personal interest 
in any war activity directed by the ladies at its head. Acting as 
their representatives were Miss May Guinness, of Dublin, who for- 
warded to Paris the money collected in England and Ireland, and 
Mrs. Samuel M. Waxman, of Cambridge, who was chairman of the 
informal committee directing the collections in this country. 

By the end of the first winter of the war, the task of supplying 
the field hospitals had become organized on a large scale under the 
governments of the different warring nations, helped by many 
large and well-patronized societies both here and in Europe. The 
ladies of the house in the rue Valette decided, therefore, that their 
house could increase its usefulness by becoming a convalescent 
shelter, still distributing hospital supplies and clothing, as contri- 
butions of these things were sent them from the committee in the 
United States. Accordingly, in April, 1915, Miles. Guillier and Aguais 
established a convalescent service at their house with the sum of 
two hundred and fifty dollars raised by the students of the French 
Cercle at a memorable performance of "Le Voyage de M. Perrichon." 
The new branch of the charity became known as L'CEuvre des 
Petits Blesses, and the soldiers who enjoyed its hospitality were sent 
there by an organization connected with the Ministry of War, 
L' Assistance aux Convalescents Militaires, with headquarters at 
202 Boulevard Saint Germain, Paris. The house at 21 rue Valette 



WAR RECORD 47 

is one of the semi-private establishments to which the Assistance 
was glad to send its men in order to provide some home life for them. 
The ladies asked to have sent them men who were really homeless, 
those principally" from the occupied districts of France and from 
the colonies, too far from their homes to pass their leaves with their 
families. Convalescents from all the horrible consequences of war 
have been sheltered by the oeuvre. They have stayed for visits of 
varying lengths, from a few days to four or five weeks. During 
the winter of the armistice leaves were extended and the men 
given small jobs of outside work in order to accustom them again 
to civil life after five years of war. 

The small sum of money which started this work was added to 
from time to time through the kindly cooperation of a group of 
French teachers in the private schools of Boston and by contribu- 
tions from the friends of the ladies at its head. In May, 1915, a 
number of the private schools of Boston combined, and under the 
supervision of their French teachers gave a very beautiful and 
successful Fete Champetre in the grounds of the Misses Cushman's 
school at Chestnut Hill, by which nearly $700 was raised. A booth 
at the Allied Bazaar, arranged by Mrs. Waxman, brought in 
$600. Then there have been liberal donations from time to time from 
private individuals, while the yearly entertainments of the Cercle 
Frangais have always added something to the fund. After the entry 
of the United States into the war, other groups of the college inter- 
ested themselves in the CEuvre, and by the end of the college year of 
1918 they had contributed nearly $500 to its support. The 
Women Graduates' Club donated the sum of $150, part of the 
proceeds of their Authors' Readings; the Girls' Glee Club and the 
Gamma Delta Society each sent to France the money raised at their 
entertainments; the Faculty Ladies' Club contributed the surplus 
left in their treasury at the end of the college year; and the class of 
1918 of the College of Business Administration generously decided 
to eliminate their senior reception and devote the money it would 
have cost to the CEuvre des Petits Blesses. The faculty of the College 
of Business Administration added $25 to the $100 voted by the 
class, thus insuring an additional month of usefulness to the little 
charity. 

Since the CEuvre could never at any time count on much money 
ahead, Mile. Guillier wisely decided to keep her family of soldiers 
small. Her official quota was three men per day, but that number 



48 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

varied somewhat, depending on the number of men on leave arriving 
in Paris at a time. Usually when the time of leaves overlapped, 
there were five and six members of the little soldier family in the rue 
Valett€. It was estimated that the cost of caring for these men was 
about one hundred dollars a month, although as food became 
scarcer and more costly in Paris this sum had to be increased, and 
that, too, just at the time when contributions over here became fewer, 
owing to the many new demands made by the American war activ- 
ities upon generous people. Mile. Guillier has kept a scrupulous 
record of her work and of its expenditures, and in order to have its 
history preserved over here she has sent to the French Cercle 
photographs of the men who have enjoyed their hospitality and a 
word of thanks from each of them. These records have been care- 
fully guarded, and they will be preserved in order that future genera- 
tions of Boston University students may know just what part those 
of to-day took in the Great War. The members of the organization 
whose initiative founded the CEuvre were given credit in France for 
their efforts by having the charity for which they are patrons classi- 
fied in the French war records as "Fondation du Cercle Frangais 
de rUniversite de Boston." 

The work of demobilization having begun in France during the 
winter of the armistice, and the funds of the CEuvre having been nearly 
exhausted. Mile. Guillier was obliged by February to cease regularly 
receiving soldiers in her pension. She continued through the spring 
of 1919 her aid to the wards of the CEuvre — those who on demo- 
bilization were most in need of material help. The task of rehabil- 
itation in France, particularly for the men of the devastated areas, 
is so enormous that the trifling gifts the CEuvre's funds can make to 
the brave men of France who have lost everything by the war are a 
mere drop in the bucket. Nevertheless, they are as grateful for this 
help, and the sympathy and understanding that go with it, as if the 
gifts really measured up to their needs. No doubt the French 
Government's reimbursements to these people, and the benevolence 
of some of the larger and more influential charities, will finally help 
them all to build up a semblance of their former lives once more. 
Meanwhile, although the Cercle Frangais cannot again count on 
sending to France any such sums of money as the vivid years of the 
war made available for their work, they mean to keep in touch 
with some of their beneficiaries in order that they may feel them- 
selves really a French society with a worthy Raison d'Etre. They 



WAR RECORD 49 

are planning next year to use whatever money they may raise by 
their entertainments to help in the education of two little boys 
whose father was killed in the early days of the war. They hope 
to establish for the children a permanent fund which will be available 
for their needs as they grow up, thus doing a bit of reconstruction 
work of their own which will help them keep in personal touch 
with the country whose language and literature they are learning 
and whose high political ideals are shared by our own sister republic. 
Appended are two documents which are pertinent to a history 
of the CEuvre. One is a letter testifying to its usefulness, and the 
other is a report of its gifts and expenses, printed in France and sent 
to the contributors in this country by Mile. Guillier.

"^ I ^HE best way to visit the battlefields of France" is the com- 
-■- mercial appeal now being made by tourist agencies to the 
interested and curious. It is a thousand pities that these sacred 
fields must be subjected to the gaze of the blase, the mawkish, or 
the curious; it would seem an insult to the boys who fought there 
and gave their lives for world freedom that these battlefields should 
now become the prey and pastime of the tourist and the jaded 
globe-trotter. The historian should go; the artist should be given 
free access; the poet should be allowed to move freely where McCrae 
wrote: 

"In Flanders fields where poppies blow 
Between the crosses, row on row," 

and fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, relatives, and sweethearts 
should be found there in large numbers to plant flowers on the graves 
of loved ones, to water those flowers with their tears, and to recon- 
secrate the soil with their own sweet devotion. But to allow the 
exploiter, the blase, the curious, to desecrate this soil — never! 

That first week of June, 1918, was a glorious one for France, for 
America, for the world. Marshal Foch's movement on July 18 — 
six weeks later — started the oncoming wave which engulfed and 
destroyed Prussianism; but that wave would probably have not 
been possible but for the valor of our marines and other American 
troops in this first battle at Chtteau-Thierry. The Germans were 
making their supreme effort in their last big drive for Paris; they 
had broken through the supposedly impregnable position of the 
British at Chemin-des-Dames; day by day they crept nearer and 
nearer to Paris, from which they were less than forty miles, while 
some of their outriders touched the rim of the metropolis within 
seven miles of the Champs Elysees. • "We felt in our faces the very 
breath of the beast," said a prominent Frenchman. 

In the midst of an apparently hopeless situation, with its corre- 
sponding gloom and depression, from which there seemed no relief, 
there suddenly flashed the lightning of a new sword, in hands unused 
to war, but ever ready as were the knights of old to enter the lists — 
a sword which had never been drawn except for freedom, truth, and 
justice; a sword which had never known defeat! A division of 
marines and other American troops was rushed forward as a desper- 



WAR RECORD 51 

ate measure to try to stop the gap where flesh and blood, though 
animated by French heroism, seemed incapable of further resist- 
ance. Neither trained nor equipped for such work, they dashed 
across France, driving, hiking, scrambling; in trucks, cattle cars, 
by every conceivable kind of conveyance. 

For days they had little food and less sleep. When they arrived 
the tide was running so strongly against the Allies that the French 
command not only advised but actually ordered them to retire; 
but these Yankee lads and their brave general would not hear of it. 
They dashed for the foe with little care for regulation battle order. 
Burning with hot indignation at the outrages of the Hun, eager to 
give expression to that indignation and to show a skeptical Old 
World what the New could do, they stormed ahead right through 
French divisions coming back from the front, yelling like wild 
Indians, ardent, vibrant, irresistible! The returning French called 
out as they passed: "Don't go there; in that direction are the Boches 
with their machine guns!" But our boys shouted back: "That 's 
where we want to go; we 've come three thousand miles to meet the 
Boche!" They threw themselves upon the victory-flushed Huns, to 
whom this unconventional kind of fighting was a complete, discon- 
certing, and overwhelming surprise. They fought like demons and 
stopped the Hun, starting the Allied victory on its march, never 
to stop until Armistice Day. The French knew to their unspeakable 
delight that a new force had joined theirs which spelled victory; 
and the Huns knew to their unspeakable dismay that a new 
factor had been added to the opposition that made defeat 
inevitable. 

A year after this glorious week we were there to see what another 
group of young Americans is doing in completing the work of our 
boys. We had motored through the Soissons-Rheims-Verdun-Ar- 
gonne battle areas, winding up at Chateau-Thierry. Everywhere is 
most frightful desolation. The once fair and fertile fields of France 
have become dreary wastes, torn and distraught, buried in heaps 
on heaps of ruins. As far as the eye can see on either side of miles 
and miles of road, there is not a whole living tree, an acre of tillable 
soil, an unwrecked human habitation, nor an undemolished church, 
where but recently were happy homes, peaceful villages, quiet gar- 
dens, abundant harvests, and worshiping congregations. But that 
is not the worst: these outward and physical conditions are expres- 
sions of a more grave inner and spiritual danger — intellectual 



52 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

despair, social ruin, and spiritual barrenness, a condition sure to 
drive to madness the refugees returning home. Home? Well, it is 
all they have: ashes, dust, dirt, and debris of their former life — 
and nothing else! Nothing to eat, little to wear, no kitchen utensils, 
no household furniture, no tools, no farming implements, no seed- 
corn for the next planting! Nothing! Nothing but drab desolation, 
the remains of deadly destruction! Broken in body, broken in 
fortunes, broken in families, broken in social fellowships, broken in 
religious consolations, broken in spirit — broken in heart! This 
faintly suggests the problem of our workers there, in restoring the 
morale of these people. 

1 would not detract one iota from the imperishable glory that 
belongs to our boys who here turned the tide of battle against the 
brutal Hun. But this very winter our group of workers is facing at 
ChS,teau-Thierry a more fatal and subtle enemy who will crush out 
the spirit and life of this people. There is an appealing call for help 
in rebuilding homes, villages, and towns, in starting industries, and 
opening schools and churches. Let us be glad that that work is 
already beginning in a small way. But it must be very slow. The 
immediate, most difficult, -and most important problem is that of 
sustaining the morale of these people in the meantime, particularly 
this winter. Something must be done to reawaken their hopes, to 
stir their ambitions, to arouse their benumbed spirits, to start their 
personal lives again. As matters now stand- they move about as 
wooden automatons, in a hopeless, dumb, lifeless way. To awaken 
them to manly action, to bring them back to something of their 
former selves, is a far more difficult task than to do battle, however 
nobly and bravely done; to do this work requires warm sympathies, 
trained minds, rare skill, consummate tact, unfailing endurance, 
and monumental patience; and the men and women who are per- 
forming this rare service deserve our lasting gratitude. 

There is no end of good impulses and good intentions on the part 
of the American people. But will it all end in good intentions and 
"surveys"? At last accounts eighty-five American commissions 
had been in France "to make a survey" and to report to some home 
philanthropic body; in the meantime these people are freezing to 
death or starving, while the home societies will probably have spent 
their funds on "commissions" and "surveys." The French are get- 
ting pretty tired of being "surveyed" by "commissions." What they 
want is bread and clothing, but more, even, love and comradeship. 



WAR RECORD 53 

I am pleased to report that our people are there with the goods! 
We have opened orphanages, agricultural schools, and model farms; 
of these I have not space here to speak. I wish to give you a little 
detail of one fraction of what we are doing in France, at Chiteau- 
Thierry. The French Government has assigned to us thirty-two 
villages along the Marne covering a distance of twenty-five miles, 
with Chateau-Thierry in the center. They are described in Mildred 
Aldrich's book, "A Hilltop on the Marne." Just above our villages 
are the three villages assigned to the unit from Wellesley College. 
We attended a conference of our workers in these villages. From 
the railroad station one walks up "President Wilson Avenue" to 
"United States Square," where, at Number 4, is the property we 
have purchased, an old stone mansion — lately a hotel — with 
twenty-five rooms built around a large court, with lounging rooms, 
offices, etc., on the ground floor, and a big fireplace at one side. It 
is only a stone's throw from the bridge where our boys first met the 
Germans; it is less than one hundred yards from the spot where the 
first American boy fell. Does not the heart thrill ? These boys stood 
in the struggle for world liberty where our men of Lexington and 
Concord stood for American freedom. Here, then, in sight of these 
inspiring memories, is the setting of our fine home for our workers 
in these villages. They are supplied with automobiles so that they 
can spend the day out among the people in the villages and come 
back to headquarters at night for. rest, refreshment, and recupera- 
tion. Such work is a heavy drain upon the physical and nervous 
forces; it requires a lot of encouragement and good cheer to sustain 
oneself amid the hard service which these trained workers are render- 
ing; this "Central Foyer" provides such a refuge. 

In the villages our workers are provided with tents, huts, or halls, 
as a Community Center — and a real Community Center it is. 
There is not a store, school, church, assembly room, not even a 
corner grocery in any of these villages; this Community Center 
seeks to provide everything for these people as a community. Every 
day the women come to this center to plan for the simplest house- 
hold necessities; our workers help them; materials are provided at 
a price adapted to the purse — perhaps these workers have a com- 
munity sewing machine, or baking oven, or washboard. A survey 
has been made so that the physical, economic, mental, moral, and 
social status of every one in the village is known and the price of all 
articles is adapted to the purse. Once a week "sales" are held when 



54 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

household supplies are offered. These have been purchased in large 
quantities from the disbanding armies, the Red Cross establish- 
ments, Young Men's Christian Association, the Knights of Colum- 
bus, etc., and in some cases the Food Administration has helped; by 
the aid of gifts from Americans other goods were bought from the 
manufacturers. If there is any profit it is spent in providing some- 
thing of special helpfulness and value to the village as a whole. 

The older boys and girls are taught games and are also trained to 
lead the younger children. During five years of Hun occupation 
their fathers and brothers were murdered, their mothers and sisters 
endured the horror and terror of Hunnish lust; five years of the 
fears and frights of war and of Hun occupation have been theirs — 
and the shadow of it is still with them. You may well believe, there- 
fore, that they have known little of happiness. Life has been a con- 
tinuous nightmare, and nearly a million of them and their mothers 
have perished under war strain. It is into these lives our workers 
are trying to put a little of sunshine, hope, good cheer, and com- 
panionship. 

Then, too, the fathers must have attention. Five years of soldier 
life have unfitted them for the ordinary duties of domestic and civic 
life. War is reversion to savagery, and arouses the brutal passions 
and animal instincts. Besides, the soldier is apt to think that he has 
done his duty to his country, his community — and often, even, to 
his family; he thinks, now, that these should take care of him; 
whereas his country, community, and family never needed him so 
much as now. Something must be done, and that quickly, to per- 
suade him to find his place in the current economic life; to perform 
his duty there just as faithfully as he did in the war. He does not, as 
yet, appreciate the fact that now he must be a soldier in peace, 
fighting the enemies of the ordinary run of life; that to be a slacker 
in the economic life of peace time is just as big a piece of treachery 
and disloyalty as to be a slacker in time of war when fighting the 
Hun. For this reason the soldiers need much special attention; they 
must be brought together and ways and means tactfully suggested, 
discussed, approved, and organized to get them at work for the 
betterment of their respective communities. 

I have said all this to lead you up to an appreciation of the 
greatness of the work these young people are doing; and that you 
may appreciate the qualities of mind and heart which must be 
theirs. They are, for the most part, university graduates, who, in 



WAR RECORD 55 

addition to their university training, have had special training in 
social service, and have had considerable practical field experience. 
To illustrate: one is a university graduate in both America and 
England, with special training in social work; she was for seventeen 
months director of a foyer at the front. She was attached to the 7th 
Division of the French Army conducting a roadside canteen; three 
times her canteen was destroyed but she worked on; received a 
Croix de Guerre with three citations from the French Army. 

The conference which we attended lasted for two hours. These 
workers gave reports of what they had been doing the past week; 
their plans were discussed and a program agreed upon — supplies, 
parties, community meetings, sales, etc., for the week to come. 
Here is a brief extract from one report. This is typical of what these 
twelve workers were doing in these thirty villages: 

"Not a single habitable house remained in Vaux; not a piece of furniture, 
just great piles of lime and stone, with a few walls looming up to remind us of 
what had once been a village. Those fortunate enough to have three walls — 
four seem almost wasteful — have put on temporary roofing. 

"Their need is great. They have nothing absolutely iut their crushed spirits; 
but they seem anxious to emerge into something brighter, and they greet us as if 
through us they see a ray of hope that something better is coming to them. 
Sorrow, loss, and neglect have not killed them. They have it in them to survive. 
People who develop amid such a clutter, and are good and at times happy, are 
a wonderful people." 

I consider that the work being done by these young people is as 
worthy of commendation, sympathy, and support as the work of 
our boys in resisting the Hun and driving him out of this region. 
An enemy even more terrible than the Hun is now lurking in these 
villages along the Marne. He represents cold, hunger, destitution 
far beyond the most gifted imagination to picture, and a sense of 
utter helplessness and of general breakdown impossible to endure 
alone. It is the part of these dozen workers to do for the rehabili- 
tation of the life of the spirit of the people in this brief sector along 
the Marne what our boys did for the world by their fighting at the 
bridge across the Marne at Chclteau-Thierry. To inspire these 
dozen workers there is no longer the huge impact of a great war 
carried on under the eyes of the whole world. If looked at as work 
alone it is the dullest monotony and the dreariest kind of drudgery; 
unknown, unseen, unsung by the world at large. Not one of them 
but could easily find pleasant positions in America at comfortable 



56 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

salaries. But they are working for small pay and are giving all their 
time and strength and talent to this work, denying themselves not 
only comforts but sometimes necessities in order to aid these people. 
Of course you are not surprised that a happier company of people 
cannot be found anywhere. Their names ought to be inscribed on 
rolls of honor; they should be awarded medals of peace, for the 
battles of peace are far more difficult to fight than the battles of war. 
Wars do not end with the signing of armistices nor are the aims 
of war gained through victories in battle. The Allies won the war, 
but it is not at all certain that they have won the peace — in the 
sense that they are securing the aims of the war, namely, to "make 
the world safe for democracy." The democratic hope of Europe is 
represented in almost forty republics which were organized in 
Europe during the first armistice year. Their fate is trembling in 
the balance at this hour. Europe faces monarchism or bolshevism 
if these republics fail. We have left them practically alone to begin 
this new and great experiment in government, unskilled and un- 
trained in such endeavors, and beginning it under the most difficult 
economic situation that the human race has ever known. They are 
bitterly opposed, on the one hand, by the autocracy of monarchism, 
and on the other by the still more merciless and relentless autocracy 
of bolshevism. The frightful collapse that comes upon human beings 
after superhuman endeavor has come upon these peoples in Europe 
after five years of war strain. They needed us fully as much — per- 
haps even more — during the first year or two after the armistice 
as they did in the last year of the fighting. If, in ten thousand cen- 
ters all over Europe, particularly in these new republics, we could 
have had groups of workers like these at Chateau-Thierry inspiring 
the morale of the people, helping them to organize their domestic 
and civic life, and if, in addition, we could have sent them helpers to 
organize their industries and transportation, and had extended to 
them credit so they could start their industrial and commercial 
activities, and if we could have kept our food administration going, 
supplying them with the necessities of food and clothing — if all 
these humane activities could have been carried on with the Knights 
of Columbus, the Y. M. C. A., the Red Cross, in full swing, as during 
the last year of the war, we should be facing a different Europe to- 
day. We should be quite as willing to be as active and generous in 
supporting constructive reconstruction endeavors in times of peace 
as we were in promoting destructive endeavor in times of war. 



WAR RECORD 57 

AFTER THE ARMISTICE 

Heber R. Harper 
[Heber R. Harper, A.B., S.T.B., is Assistant Professor of Hebrew and Greek 
in the School of Theology of Boston University.] 

THE armistice had come with stunning suddenness. After 
months of all-consuming activity and intensity came the 
collapse, and then unendurable inactivity. With its great motive 
gone, and the enforced idleness of long, long days, the morale of 
the A. E. F. was in striking contrast to the morale of its fighting 
days. The moods and activities of the doughboy during his long 
sojourn in Europe after the armistice were quite different from the 
moods and activities of his fighting days. 

In the first place, he had a desperate case of homesickness. 
During the war a prominent speaker, who lisps a little, said: "I 
found three thingth characterithtic of all our boyth wherever I 
thaw them in Franth. In the firth plathe they were alwayth hun- 
gry, in the thecond plathe they were alwayth broke, and in the 
third plathe no matter where they were they withed they were 
thomewhere elthe." Certainly the third thing was characteristic 
of every doughboy during the after-the-armistice period, and there 
was absolute unanimity as to the whereabouts of that other place. 
It was "God's Country" that was wanted — Home! The A. E. F. 
had the worst case of homesickness ever known — and the biggest. 
They were homesick for home food, for thin china and white table- 
cloths, for white sheets, for the front porch and a rocking-chair, 
and above all for their own folks. Van Dyke spoke for every dough- 
boy when he wrote: 

" 'T is fine to see the Old World and to travel up and down 
Among the famous palaces and cities of renown, — 
To admire the crumbly castles and the statues of the kings, — 
But now I think I 've had enough of antiquated things. 
So it 's home again and home again, America for me; 
My heart is turning home again and there I long to be 
In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars, 
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars." 

Many activities were promoted or supported by the army 
during this period of comparative idleness, designed among other 
things to combat this homesickness. By far the most significant 
of these activities was the educational program of the A. E. F. 

Over two hundred thousand doughboys attended the army 
schools. Of this number approximately twenty thousand did 



58 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

college or university work. About two thousand men went to 
British universities, and over eight thousand were in French univer- 
sities, — the Sorbonne, Grenoble, Lyon, Besangon, and others. At 
the beautiful little French town of Beaune, Cote d'Or, the army 
utilized the buildings that had been erected for one of the two largest 
American hospitals in which to set up its own university. This 
A. E. F. University comprised eleven different colleges and had a 
total enrolment of over eight thousand students. Dr. Flewelling, 
a graduate of Boston University, had charge of the Department of 
Philosophy in the Liberal Arts School. At the town of Allerey, 
four or five kilometers from Beaune, was a splendid school of agri- 
culture with over two thousand students. 

The resourcefulness of the doughboy was demonstrated in his 
school activities as well as in his fighting. There were almost innu- 
merable obstacles to be overcome in order to get things under way. 
One of the chief difficulties was the securing of text-books. A member 
of the Educational Commission, Dr. Erskine, of Columbia Univer- 
sity, was sent to America to place an order for one million five 
hundred thousand dollars' worth of text-books. He found that the 
War Industries Board had placed a ban on the manufacture of 
text-books and white paper. Getting the ban lifted meant delay. 
Many of the classes, therefore, had to be started with no books, or 
at best with a very limited number. But doughboy resourceful- 
ness, and determination not to be defeated, easily got around this 
situation. 

A private, for example, secured as an instructor in Greek, was 
confronted with this handicap: this young Rhodes Scholar, who had 
left Oxford to enlist in France, was teaching a class in advanced 
Greek, while his captain had the beginning class! The only text 
he had for both classes was a French edition of the seventh book of 
Plato's "Republic," which he had kicked up out of the ruins at 
Verdun. With this text alone to aid his memory he had compiled 
all the conjugations, declensions, vocabularies, and exercises for the 
captain's beginning class, and the lexicon, grammar exercises, etc., 
for his advanced class. This was only one of many proofs that 
Yankee fighting spirit did not die with the signing of the armistice. 

In France the doughboy was quietly going to school to learn 
better how to live and how to work. In Germany he had others 
learning how to live by attending his school — the great School 
of Democracy. He was the instructor, and those of the occupied 



WAR RECORD 59 

territory were his pupils. For as an American Democracy had 
turned out a fighter that surprised the world, she also turned out 
a conqueror who was a splendid vindication of the principles for 
which he had fought. In Germany he was a living lesson in democ- 
racy to those whose land he was occupying. There was nothing of 
the swashbuckling, overbearing, arrogant spirit in this conqueror. 
He simply could not play that role because it was foreign to his 
nature. He was democratic because he was to the manner born. 
In the eyes of some of our professional military men he was too 
democratic. But whatever weaknesses his fraternizing tendencies 
may have had, they were more than counterbalanced by the quiet 
lessons he was giving in democracy — lessons that were by no means 
lost on his friend the enemy. 

All the lessons, however, were not passively given. Every day 
an American outfit paraded the streets of Coblenz with the Amer- 
ican flag flying to remind an otherwise uninvaded people that 
autocracy was crushed and that democracy was triumphant. Many 
a portly German burgher learned for the first time, by the sweep 
of a doughboy's arm, that hats off was the rule when the flag went 
by or when the "Star Spangled Banner" was played. At Coblenz, 
too, the Stars and Stripes floated constantly over Ehrenbreitstein, 
Germany's greatest fortress — her Gibraltar of the Rhine. No 
American ever viewed that sight for the first time without a wonderful 
thrill and a wild desire to shout. No German could look at that from 
day to day without catching something of its significance. 

There were some unfortunate exceptions to the doughboy's 
general democratic bearing and deportment, but so few that it can 
truthfully be said that no more magnanimous or manly conqueror 
ever occupied an enemy's country. 

The doughboy's last notable appearance as part of the A. E. F. 
was in the Allies' great victory pageant on July 14, 1919. There 
has been no pageant in all history to compare with this one when 
the victorious hosts of the armies of the free peoples of the world 
marched under the Arc de Triomphe. Paris worked feverishly 
for ten days to be properly decorated for the great event. The 
Champs d' Elysees was a blaze of color. Bunting, pennants of the 
Allied flags, and thousands of electric lights were strung the entire 
length of the Avenue, hung from Venetian poles. From double 
square columns, surmounted by winged balls, hung shields with 
figures symbolic of the great battles of the war. 



60 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

The most unique decoration was two great heaps of captured 
German cannon, one on either side of the Avenue. These had 
formerly stretched the entire length of this renowned thoroughfare. 
Now they had been scooped up and flung together as a mass of 
scrap — two junk heaps. Their appearance well reflected the con- 
tempt with which the Allies regarded the "Might" doctrine for 
which they had stood. On one heap was the Cock of France, with 
head lowered and feathers ruffled, standing on a ball marked "1914," 
and entitled, "Le Coq se defend." On the other heap the Cock, 
with head erect and proud in bearing, on the ball marked "1918," 
was entitled, "Le Coq Chant." 

Enormous crowds flocked to Paris for the parade. All the night 
before a tremendous throng jammed the avenues and danced and 
sang along the boulevards. By midnight the Champs d' Elysee 
was lined with people five rows deep who had located themselves 
with blankets and with something to eat for petit dejeuner the 
following morning. 

After establishing friendly relations with a poilu who was on 
guard at the Arch, one observer placed himself within the circle 
surrounding the Arch itself and slept all night under some German 
cannon that were being frowned down upon by the figure of Napo- 
leon. About four o'clock in the morning workmen began to roll 
from under the Arch the great Cenotaph to the Dead, past which 
millions had filed the night before to drop a flower and a tear in 
grateful remembrance of those who had made this day possible. 

The sun rose beautiful and clear, ushering in a perfect day. 
The crowd was being tremendously augmented. The roofs of all 
the surrounding buildings were black with people. The observer 
had taken a position about twenty feet in front of the Arch, so as to 
see the world's great warriors and their great chiefs just as they 
passed through that structure which, more than any other could 
possibly do, symbolized their great victory and the winning of free- 
dom for the world. 

From the Avenue de la Grande Armee were heard the trumpeters 
of the famous French Garde Republicaine as they flared forth the 
strains of the "Marseillaise" in blasts that it seemed could be 
heard around the world. The first to pass under the Arch were the 
blind and wounded. With streaming eyes the spectators showered 
them with flowers and with cries of "Merci! Merci!!" Then came 
Jofire and Foch riding together. The cheering of the throng was

WAR RECORD 61 

deafening. They seemed to be borne along by a never-faltering 
wave of acclamation from the grateful-hearted multitude. 

The first troops to pass through were our own boys. Following 
the striking figure of their leader they marched in marvelous form. 
Some one said, "No Americans ever marched like that before." 
And it was true. Their lines were perfect, and each man as erect as 
though supported by an invisible steel rod. They were unanimously 
proclaimed as having exhibited the finest form in the parade. 
Following the Yanks came the Belgians, then the British. All the 
Allies of France received the fullest-hearted expressions of affection 
and admiration. Italians, Japanese, Greeks, Poles, Portuguese, 
Roumanians, Serbs, Czecho-Slovaks — for all, it seemed, was given 
the greatest possible demonstration. But when France's own poilus 
appeared there went up a thunder of cheers and cries of "Merci 
aux Poilus" that reached the skies. France was paying homage 
to her own sons, the saviors of France and of the world. It was the 
homage of undying love, gratitude, and devotion, and it was 
gloriously and worthily rendered. 

It was a fitting climax to see the doughboy for the last time in 
this pageant of unrivaled splendor and significance, joined with those 
with whom he had shared the mud and the blood, the loneliness 
and pain, the wounds and death, that had made possible this hour 
of glory and of triumph. 

MILITARY ACTIVITIES OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY IN 
THE WORLD WAR 

Students' Army Training Corps 
Sharkey Y. Britt 

[Captain Starkey Y. Britt, Commandant of the Students' Army Training 
Corps, was retired from active service in the United States Army a few years 
before the World War on account of disa-bility incurred in line of duty, but had 
been on active duty since the beginning of the war.] 

ON April 6, 1917, our Congress declared that "war existed be- 
tween Germany and the United States of America." From 
that day we, the people of the United States, were a party to the 
greatest conflict that ever engaged the attention of mankind. The 
war had been in progress since the first week in August, 1914, 
between the principal nations of Europe, but we had, by the exercise 
of much forbearance and patience under sore provocation, been 
spared active participation on the field of battle. 



62 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

War is not a thing to be desired by any sane person. Its methods 
are so drastic, its results so dreadful and far-reaching, that it should 
be, and generally is, the last resort of any really civilized and 
humane people. We had suffered indignities and many invasions 
of our rights at the hands of the Central Powers of Europe, until 
patience had ceased to be a virtue. 

The declaration of war found the United States unprepared. 
Both the physical and the financial forces, or powers, of the country 
were unorganized, except for a small regular army, which was so 
small that in a conflict of such magnitude as the World War it could 
hardly be considered as a "corporal's guard." 

Problems arose and multiplied with great rapidity, but the first 
great problem to be met was to get a sufficient force ready for imme- 
diate combat — a force large enough to stem the avalanche that was 
threatening almost every free and democratic country in Europe. 
The second great problem was to devise and put into operation a 
plan that would not only fill the gaps that might occur in the fighting 
line, but would enable the Government to enlarge the combat force 
whenever the exigencies of war might so require. 

The conflict was of such stupendous magnitude that it was soon 
evident that voluntary enlistments would never be of such numbers 
as to successfully meet the necessities of the second problem; 
accordingly, what is known as the "draft law" was enacted by the 
national Congress. Under this law soldiers in sufficient numbers 
could be drawn from among the able-bodied men of the country to 
meet all the numerical requirements, and the Government could 
get all the men it needed. There then arose another problem, as 
serious as any of those problems connected with the handling of 
men or armies in active campaign — the lack of trained officers. 

Leadership has been termed by some as a "gift," and it cannot 
be denied that some men possess this qualification largely in excess 
of their fellows, but in these days of high-powered weapons, leader- 
ship in battle is not so much a gift as it is a matter of training. 
Technical training is essential for the officer. The officer's word is 
absolute law in battle, and the officer who blunders in action may 
be the cause of scores of deaths among the men under his command. 

Again, it is a well-established truth in military as well as civil 
pursuits that a man must have a good general education before he 
can be well trained, technically, in any line of endeavor. 



WAR RECORD 63 

In organizing the great army for service in Europe, the Govern- 
ment found that it could get all the men it needed, all the men it 
wanted; but it discovered that it was difficult to obtain a sufficient 
number of men educated up to the point where they could be tech- 
nically trained as officers. This is not surprising when we consider 
the relatively few men who complete a college course and the large 
number of officers required to handle an army of four or five millions 
of men. From what source could the Government get the proper 
material for more than a hundred and eighty thousand officers? 
It was evident that the larger colleges and universities of the country 
were the proper source of supply of officer material. Approximately 
five hundred of the larger institutions of learning throughout the 
country were requested to undertake, for the duration of the war, 
the basic training of their able-bodied male students along the lines 
that would fit them for a subsequent technical training for positions 
as officers in Government camps and schools. A commission was 
contemplated for each man who could qualify. 

Boston University, an old and well-known institution of learning, 
situated in the heart of Boston, readily responded to the Govern- 
ment's request, opened its doors, and placed its educational 
equipment and machinery at the service of not only our own people 
but the peoples of the world at large who were in a life-and-death 
struggle with autocracy. 

Germany and Austria had challenged the world. These auto- 
cratic governments had set out to enslave, or at the least to dom- 
inate, the world. Sacred treaties had been treated as "scraps of 
paper." Confronting the great popular governments of the world 
was the threat that no longer should they enjoy liberty and freedom, 
but that henceforth they should bend their necks to a yoke of arro- 
gance and "kultur." 

The World War was not of our choosing. Our Government had 
exhausted every means, save national honor, to avoid the conflict. 
Each step on our part looking to avoidance was met by the Central 
Powers of Europe with further aggression and encroachment on 
our rights. Congress, in declaring war, but gave voice to the wish 
of every patriotic American. 

As previously shown in this article, the Government had deter- 
mined upon the training of every able-bodied college student, this 
training to be given in his own college. These students were to be 
full soldiers in the service of the United States, to be known as 



64 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

the "Students' Army Training Corps." Army officers were assigned 
to each college and university having a corps of students in training. 
These officers were to train the men in military drill a certain num- 
ber of hours each day, and the students were at the same time re- 
quired to pursue their regular college studies under college professors. 
This system of training — a double system carried on at the same 
time — called for energetic work on the part of the student. 

Military drill and discipline became a part of the college course 
for the men who enlisted as members of the Students' Army Training 
Corps. The machinery of the colleges was placed under Government 
control, and notwithstanding that the Government paid the insti- 
tutions for their services, the change was radical and somewhat 
startling. But the interest of the country was put in the foremost 
place by our colleges and universities, and whether or not the ser- 
vice to the country, in training these young men, was carried on 
at cost or at a financial loss, Boston University did not swerve from 
its desire and its efforts to meet all Government requirements and 
give to its Students' Army Training Corps the complete training 
desired. 

A Committee on Education and Training, appointed by the 
War Department, and having its headquarters in Washington, had 
general charge of all S. A. T. C.'s, and prescribed the courses to 
be taught and the methods of instruction. The plans outlined by 
this committee were followed as closely as possible. 

The beginning of the fall term, 1918, was designated by the 
committee in Washington as the time when the training of the 
students for Government service in the army should begin. Army 
officers were detailed to educational institutions by the War 
Department, one or more to each institution, and ordered to report 
at the institution for duty before the beginning of the fall term. 

Captain Starkey Y. Britt, U. S. Army, retired, but again on 
active duty by order of the President, was detailed as Commandant 
at Boston University. Captain Britt was retired from active service 
some few years before the World War, on account of "disability 
incurred in line of duty," but had been on active duty since the 
beginning of the war. At the time of his detail to Boston University 
he was Commandant at the University of Minnesota, and had had 
several years' experience as commandant and professor of military 
science and tactics at military colleges. This officer belonged to 
the "old army," and had a record of more than twenty-four years* 



WAR RECORD 65 

service, being a veteran of the Spanish War and the Philippine 
Insurrection. Captain Britt reported for duty at Boston University 
September 16, 1918. Twelve young officers were detailed to the Uni- 
versity as Captain Britt's assistants (their names appear later). 
These twelve young officers were upper-classmen in our larger col- 
leges and universities, and had won their army commissions in 
training camps. They were the right men in the right place, and ably 
discharged the duties of their position as assistants to the commandant. 

As fast as students matriculated and entered the University, 
they were physically examined by surgeons in the employ of the 
United States Government, and all who measured up to the army 
standards were enrolled as members of the Students' Army Training 
Corps. A few more than eight hundred were admitted to the corps 
to receive special training for subsequent appointment as officers. 
One hundred and three were naval students. 

Barracks and messing facilities had to be provided, and for 
these purposes the University secured two large garages for sleeping 
quarters, mess hall, and kitchen. Bedding was furnished by the 
Government. Students were also given the regulation army uniform, 
and they received the pay of the regular soldier. 

After examinations were completed, a general induction service 
was held at which all army students were formally inducted into 
the service of the couhtry. This service was impressive. The stu- 
dents stood with uplifted right hands and repeated the formal oath 
of induction, administered by the commandant. This oath pledged 
the life and the whole-hearted service of each man to his country. 

This general induction service was delayed for some days owing 
to a severe epidemic of influenza in Boston, which finally spread over 
the entire country. Many schools were temporarily closed, and 
public gatherings in nearly all the cities of the country were pro- 
hibited. Some few cases of influenza developed among the students, 
but the University was very fortunate, as only two deaths resulted. 

Old Boston Common — historic ground — and the Fenway 
were secured from the Boston city government to be used as drill 
grounds. Here, each day, the eight hundred men comprising the 
corps were given their lessons in military drill, — long, weary hours 
at first, — but the desire to learn was so keen in each student that 
drilling soon became not so much a lesson as a military review. 

Their bearing and discipline were spoken of most highly by 
visiting army officers. Many of the students seemed to feel the 



66 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

spirit of our forefathers, and to realize that on Boston Common 
they were on hallowed ground, under the very shadow of the 
monument that commemorates the heroic deeds of our ancestors. 

Popular names for divisions and regiments were general in the 
World War, and a movement was therefore started to assume the 
name of "The Bunker Hill Battalion" for the corps at Boston 
University; but peace, or the armistice, came so quickly that the 
plan was never carried out, much to the regret of the commandant. 

Hardly a month had been spent in training when the Government 
began to draw men from the corps at Boston University for training 
in Government camps. When the armistice was declared, the first 
class, consisting of about fifty men, was in Government camps. 

Training along all lines was being pushed rapidly when, on 
November 11, 1918, the armies in Europe declared an armistice. 
The Germans sued for this. For some time they had been so mer- 
cilessly beaten on every field that they foresaw complete disaster 
in the further prosecution of the war. To save the further sacrifice 
of lives. General Foch, the Allied Commander, acceded to the wish 
of the Germans, and the signing of the armistice virtually ended 
the war. The Central Powers of Europe were completely defeated. 

The war ended; demobilization of the army was ordered. This 
was almost as great a task as had been the enrolment. Nearly five 
millions of men, at home and in Europe, were under arms. To get 
the army back to a peace basis was the problem of the hour. 

Each soldier was carefully examined, physically, by an army 
surgeon, and a complete record of the man made, in every partic- 
ular, for permanent file in the War Department at Washington. 
Actual discharges began early in December and were completed by 
December 21, 1918. Every man of the corps at Boston University 
was discharged, save one who was sick in hospital, and was sent to 
the Government hospital at Camp Devens, Mass., to be treated 
until cured. The University had taken the best care of its sick at 
one of the city hospitals. 

The Students' Army Training Corps had completed the work re- 
quired of it by its Government in the World War. Their work had 
been spoken of in the warmest terms by high officials in the War 
Department. The knowledge of having done one's duty, whether 
applauded by men or not, will give to every man guided by a sense 
of duty supreme satisfaction. The approval of one's conscience 
is of far more value than the plaudits of our fellow-men. The Stu- 



WAR RECORD 67 

dents' Army Training Corps at Boston University did its duty. 
There was not a single trial for violation of military laws, and there 
was not a single desertion from its ranks, a record almost unheard 
of in a military unit so large. The memory of their service, though 
short, should be cherished and handed down to their children's 
children — a priceless heritage. 

Boston University did its duty. Both the Corporation and its 
officers and professors gave money and toil without stint or reserva- 
tion. As an institution of learning it answered its country's call, 
whole-heartedly and patriotically, having in view but one thing: to 
help its Government — to help the world — make sure that liberty 
and democracy should not perish, and that the peoples of the world 
should still enjoy the blessings of liberty, freedom, and happiness. 

Following is a list of army officers who served with the S. A. T. C. 
at Boston University from its organization to its demobilization:

A TEACHER AS STUDENT 
Warren 0. Ault 

[Warren Or tm an Ault is Assistant Professor of History in the College of Liberal 
Arts of Boston University.] 

My experience in the army was without distinction. I was 
obliged to say sometimes to the queries of friends, "No, I 
did n't get across, neither did I get a Cross." The returning hero 
from overseas, however, though he may make me envious, does not 
make me feel ashamed. Like all soldiers I did what I was told with 
full acquiescence and with what cheerfulness was possible. Thus I 
learned something of discipline, which has been defined as "Instant 
and willing obedience to orders." 

My time was divided almost equally between the Medical 
Department and the field artillery. While in the Medical Depart- 
ment I was stationed at various forts in Boston Harbor. The Med- 
ical Department, besides caring for the sick and wounded, is the 
registrar's office of the army. It is the receiving and discharging 
office. Consequently the amount of "paper work" in this depart- 
ment is enormous. Specialists in that field are of much value, and 
it was there that my own work lay. I knew and learned nothing 
of medicine beyond the essentials of first aid, elementary physiology, 
and army sanitation. Observation and study taught me something 
about the management of an army hospital. At the time of my 
transfer to the artillery I was in charge of the office of the senior 
surgeon of the coast defenses of Boston, and had been for some 
months a sergeant. In July, 1918, the War Department threw the 
officers' training camps open to enlisted men in all departments 
of the army. I immediately asked for a transfer to the Field Artillery 
Officers' Training Camp at Camp Taylor, Ky. Probably my prin- 
cipal motive in making this move was the ordinary human desire 
to get ahead in my profession; for you must remember that at that 
time we had no notion but that the army might be our profession 
for some years to come. Other considerations which influenced me 
were my love of an active, out-door life, and my knowledge and 
liking for horses and mathematics — both essential factors in Field 
Artillery. I was the only enlisted man to go to that camp at that 
time from the coast defenses of Boston, and I had a fine trip. I 
was in the training camp just fifteen weeks. The routine of those 
camps is too familiar to warrant description here. The long hours 
and the hard work were compensated by the friendships formed

with a score of fine fellows and by acquaintance with scores more. 
Over and over again I was carried back in thought to college days. 
There was the same hurried snatch at this subject and then at that; 
the same excited cramming for the morrow's quiz; the same en- 
vious or exultant comparison of marks; the same rejoicing over a 
subject "passed" with a minimum of effort expended. To complete 
the parallel, we had a commencement at the end of our course, 
received our diplomas, and went home rejoicing. For the war had 
broken down on us just as we were finishing up. My battalion was 
the first to be commissioned after the armistice was signed. 

The army was a school, and that in form as well as in essence. 
My first month in the Medical Department was occupied largely 
with attendance upon lectures in various pertinent subjects. The 
officers' training camp was an elaborately organized educational 
institution with an actual enrolment of 14,000 and an anticipated 
enrolment of 20,000. When fully under way it was expected that 
this school would turn out a thousand second lieutenants each 
week. Each student was carrying forty-four hours of work a 
week. There were no electives, few "snap" courses, a minimum 
of tardiness, practically no "cutting," and the best of discipline. 
Many of us have read with what patience we could muster "The 
Education of Henry Adams," an education in which formal school- 
ing played a minor role. It is in that sense also — education as 
life — that the army was a school. I am glad (now) that I entered 
the army as a "buck" private. It was just like beginning life all 
over again. You have lost your job, your property, your friends; 
you have had to go to a new country and begin at the bottom 
again. That well-known phrase, "It 's a great life if you don't 
weaken," is so true as to be an almost inspired statement of the 
case. I commend the army as a school for the development of self- 
reliance.

THE S. A. T. C. AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

Edwin C. Byam 
[Edwin Colby Byam is a graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of Boston 
University, '20.] 

"DOSTON UNIVERSITY, like four hundred other educational 
■*-' institutions throughout the country, was selected by the 
Government as a location for a Students' Army Training Corps. 
Whereas this organization allowed the students at the same time 



70 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

to remain at college and to serve their country, its chief purpose 
was to give the young men intensive training, in order to make 
commissioned officers of them in the shortest possible time. Those 
who showed skill for some other branch of the service were to be 
trained to be most efficient in that work. 

Owing to the influenza epidemic the students of Boston Univer- 
sity were not inducted until October 10, 1918, and on October 21 
they reported for duty. The organization consisted of two sections, 
— the S. A. T. C. and the S. N. T. C, — the former composed of 
four companies of soldiers totaling 726 men, the latter being a 
single group of 101 sailors. Captain S. Y. Britt, U.S.A., retired, was 
the commanding officer, and twelve other officers worked with him. 

Every forenoon the student-soldiers attended classes at the 
University, most of which were those prescribed by the War De- 
partment; every afternoon they marched to either the Fenway or 
Boston Common to drill. The men undertook their training with 
much enthusiasm and earnestness, and under the capable in- 
struction of the young officers, who were generally well-liked and 
respected, they showed very rapid improvement; so rapid, in fact, 
that before the armistice was signed two detachments of soldiers 
were chosen from them and sent South to complete their training 
at an officers' training camp. 

The admirable spirit of devotion to the cause at hand which 
prevailed among our brave lads at the front could be noted also in 
these student-soldiers, as they faithfully and earnestly did their 
small part. Although these men until the last had no uniforms, 
no bands nor flying colors by which to march, no firing of cannon 
nor fallen comrades to urge them on, and although they were far 
from the scene of action, nevertheless they cheerfully toiled on 
day by day, doing their very best for their country. 

It must be admitted that the spirit of the corps changed en- 
tirely after the armistice. All the young men's hopes of reaching 
the front and showing their mettle beside their older soldier friends 
were dashed to the ground by this event. What was more natural 
than that they should desire to return to civilian life as soon as 
possible, now that their services were no longer needed? Orders 
soon came for their release, and by December 21, 1918, the entire 
unit was demobilized. 

The question of whether or not the S. A. T. C. was a failure 
quickly arose. Some have pronounced it so, and have lamented the

great expense caused the Government by it. From this point of 
view the many other acts of the War Department, anticipating a 
longer war, must also be termed failures. But does it seem right to 
condemn a plan simply because it did not have time to show its 
advantages? Military men were confident that, had the war con- 
tinued, the S. A. T. C. would have proven a huge success. Even as 
it resulted, the opinion is current that the psychological effect upon 
the German military authorities of the knowledge that the colleges 
all over the country were devoting their efforts toward filling the 
shortage of American officers was considerable. 

Credit must here be given to Boston University for its splendid 
cooperation with the military department in this work. The Univer- 
sity did all in its power to help carry out this new plan of the Govern- 
ment. Buildings had to be secured and fitted up for barracks; a 
mess-hall and food provided; the plan of the academic year changed; 
new courses added to the college bulletin and others altered. In all 
this the readiness of the University authorities to do their part in 
this huge undertaking was quickly perceived and appreciated. 



BOSTON UNIVERSITY NAVAL UNIT, 1918 
Harry B. Center 

[Harry Bryant Center, College of Liberal Arts, '00, is Associate Professor of 
Journalism in the College of Business Administration of Boston University.] 

THE Boston University Naval Unit, established in September, 
1918, at the same time that the Students' Army Training Corps 
was recruited, was a direct result of work begun at the College of 
Business Administration in March, 1917, a month before the United 
States entered the World War. 

At that time there was a "drive" to recruit the United States 
Naval Reserve. Mr. John J. Feeley, a graduate of the School of 
Law, offered to pay the expenses of a free evening course in elemen- 
tary navigation to be given at the College of Business Adminis- 
tration. Dean Lord accepted this offer, and instruction was begun 
early in March, 1917, the class meeting for hourly sessions twice 
a week. The instructor was Captain Robert M. Clark, formerly of 
the United States Steamship Inspection Service. 

About a hundred young men, including many who had already 
enlisted in the naval reserve and who were in uniform, took ad- 



72 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

vantage of the offer. Among those who registered were many of 
our own students at the College of Business Administration and 
the College of Liberal Arts. Nearly every man who took the course 
later joined the naval reserve, and among them were some of 
the first to be commissioned ensigns. 

This course was, so far as can be learned, the first "service" 
course in navigation offered by any university or college in the 
United States. College courses in navigation had been given, — 
our own College of Liberal Arts had such a course, — but they were 
courses in mathematics, and made at least plane trigonometry a 
prerequisite. The service course given by Captain Clark, and 
similar courses continued during the war at the College of Busi- 
ness Administration, did not presuppose the student's having any 
mathematical training beyond arithmetic. They were planned es- 
pecially to give enlisted men in the navy a sufficient knowledge 
of elementary navigation to pass the entrance examinations to the 
officer material schools established by the Navy Department 
immediately after the United States declared war. 

At the end of Captain Clark's course, which lasted six weeks, 
about twenty-five regular students at the College of Liberal Arts 
and the College of Business Administration desired to continue 
their study of navigation until the end of the college year in June. 
Professor Harry B. Center, of the College of Business Adminis- 
tration, had taken an active interest in the course given by Captain 
Clark and had assisted in the instruction. At the request of this 
group of students Professor Center continued the work to the end 
of the year. 

In the summer session of 1917 Professor Center conducted a 
small class in elementary navigation, and at the beginning of the 
fall term at the College of Business Administration single term 
courses in elementary navigation and nautical astronomy were 
added to the regular college curriculum. These, too, were small 
classes. But in the spring term of 1918 a thirty-hour course was 
offered free to enlisted men. About one hundred and twenty-five 
students registered for this course, including several ensigns and a 
number of petty officers, and the course in nautical astronomy 
during the same term was taken by about thirty men, a majority 
of whom were either naval ensigns or lieutenants. 

The work was continued in the summer session of 1918, Pro- 
fessor Robert E. Bruce, of the College of Liberal Arts, offering a 



WAR RECORD 73 

course in plane trigonometry which was especially arranged to 
coordinate with Professor Center's course in elementary naviga- 
tion. In the fall term the service courses at the College of Business 
Administration were continued, a nominal fee being charged for 
instruction. 

It is interesting to note the grades and ratings of the naval men, 
about three hundred in number, who have taken advantage of 
these service navigation courses. The following list is as complete 
as the records available permit, but rather understates the case: 

Lieutenant-Commander 1 

Lieutenant Senior Grade 6 

Lieutenant Junior Grade 9 

Ensigns 21 

Chief Boatswains 2 

Chief Gunners 1 

Chief Machinists 1 

Pay Clerk ^ 1 

Boatswain's Mates 5 

Quartermasters first class 6 

Quartermasters second class 4 

Quartermasters third class 7 

Electricians, Radio 19 

Carpenter's Mate 1 

Chief Yeomen 8 

Yeomen first class 2 

Yeomen second class 4 

Yeomen third class 2 

Seamen first class 101 

Seamen second class 98 

This work at the College of Business Administration was carried 
on with the heartiest cooperation of the naval authorities of the 
First Naval District. To the never-failing interest of Lieutenant 
Philip P. Chase, in charge of officer material for the district, was 
the success of these courses especially due. Lieutenant Chase 
constantly helped by suggestions for increasing the efficiency of 
the work and enhancing its value to the navy, and showed his 
active interest by regular attendance at the classes. A large number 
of the men who took the courses passed the entrance examinations 
for the officer material schools at Cambridge and at Pelham Bay, 
N. Y., and were -commissioned as ensigns in the Naval Reserve. 

When the Navy Department, in September, 1918, announced 
that naval units in connection with the Students' Army Training 
Corps plan would be established at universities and colleges, Boston 



74 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

University was awarded a naval section without application. The 
section was to be of fifty apprentice seamen. Professor Center was 
at once placed in charge of the selection of these men and was 
made faculty director of the naval section. Applications were re- 
ceived from students at the College of Liberal Arts, School of Law, 
and College of Business Administration, and more than a hundred 
men sought places in the naval section. There had to be some dis- 
appointments. In order to be fair, the quota of fifty men was divided 
among the three schools in proportion to the number from each 
school who applied. This resulted in the selection of eight men 
from the College of Liberal Arts, fifteen from the School of Law, 
and twenty-seven from the College of Business Administration. 
Preference was given to those who had been students in their 
respective departments during the preceding year, so that every 
former student who applied found a place in the naval section, 
unless he was rejected by the examining physician. There were very 
few rejections, and Lieutenant John Paul O'Neill, who had charge 
of the recruiting and examination, paid a high compliment to the 
physical excellence of the men submitted for examination at Boston 
University. 

While the fifty apprentices were being recruited the size of the 
naval section was increasing. By a rule of the Navy Department, 
any enlisted man in the naval reserve might apply for assignment 
to one of the naval units for study during the winter. This brought 
back to college a number of men who liad been students in the 
University and who had left school to enlist. Others who had not 
previously been students were able to join the naval unit if they 
could meet the college entrance requirements. The size of the 
naval section was necessarily limited to one hundred, that number 
being the limit for which quarters were available. 

As finally made up, the naval section was composed of forty-nine 
apprentice seamen, who were sworn into service by Lieutenant O'Neill 
on October 1, and fifty-one men transferred from active service. 
Among the latter there were several petty officers, including one 
chief boatswain's mate and one chief yeoman. From the very begin- 
ning the presence in the naval section of so many men who had been 
in the navy for some months, some from the beginning of the war, 
made for discipline and earnestness in the work. The naval com- 
pany was from its first day a coherent, well-disciplined, and well- 
ordered unit. 



WAR RECORD 75 

Under the S. A. T. C. plan the naval organization at Boston 
University was a "section" rather than a "unit," and so was under 
the command of the army officer assigned as commander of the 
Students' Army Training Corps, who represented the Navy Depart- 
ment for that purpose. Captain Britt appointed Lieutenants 
Arthur H. Wehle and Willard B. Thompson to take charge of the 
section. The men were housed at the University's building at 
210 Newbury Street, which was remodeled into a barracks, with 
ample dormitory and toilet accommodations and the necessary 
office room. The men messed at the S. A. T. C. mess-hall on St. 
Botolph Street. 

The army command of naval men was not wholly satisfactory, 
through no fault of the officers assigned, but because the two arms 
of the service have different traditions, different routine, and different 
customs, and neither one can quite understand the other. The pres- 
ence of so many men in the section who had been in active naval 
service made complications inevitable. These men knew their naval 
routine and etiquette; the army officers knew theirs. The friction that 
resulted was not serious so far as any effect upon school work went, 
but the men were not getting the naval atmosphere that was so 
necessary if they were to become good navy men — "grow web 
feet," as they put it. It was for this reason that, about a month 
after the section was organized, Rear Admiral Wood appointed 
Rear Admiral Rogers, also commandant of the naval units at Har- 
vard, Technology, and Tufts, to the command of the section at 
Boston University. Admiral Rogers at once appointed two ensigns, 
R. T. Jackson and E. R. Clark, the former a graduate of the Uni- 
versity of Wisconsin, the latter a former student at the College 
of Business Administration of Boston University, to the immediate 
command of the section. The appointment of these naval officers 
raised the section to the rank of a unit. 

Never were two officers more enthusiastically received by the 
men under their command than Ensigns Jackson and Clark. The 
men felt that they were really in the navy now; they swept down 
"decks" instead of "floors," and "gangways" instead of "stairs." 
The "barracks" became the U. S. S. Newbury. Classes aboard 
ship were formed for training in semaphore and wig-wag signaling 
and in marlinespike seamanship, under the instruction of the ensigns 
and petty officers. The kindness of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity 
furnished the lower deck as a commodious and comfortable study 



76 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

and recreation room, the boys "chipped in" and hired a player- 
piano, and social life aboard ship took on a new meaning. 

The influenza epidemic had delayed the beginning of school 
work for the naval men, as it had for the army men. When classes 
finally began, the men were helped to arrange their courses accord- 
ing to the branch of naval service in which they were most interested. 
Their choice was about evenly divided between "line" and "pay- 
master." Those preparing for the schools for line ensigns studied 
trigonometry, elementary navigation, physics, English, and a 
foreign language. Those who by age and because of sea duty al- 
ready performed would be eligible for the ensign schools to begin 
in January were permitted to study nautical astronomy. The men 
who were interested in the paymaster corps studied such subjects 
as economics, accounting, transportation, English, and a foreign 
language. The regular S. A. T. C. course in War Issues was required 
of all. The apprentice seamen were required to study their "Blue 
Jacket's Manuals" and to take weekly quizzes. These studies were 
in addition to the training given in signaling and seamanship. 

The signing of the armistice in mid-November found the naval 
unit in full stride, an efficient, well-drilled, and well-disciplined 
body. And then came the order for demobilization. 

The Navy Department decided to continue the line ensign 
schools for one more term of two months, beginning in January. In 
the Boston University Naval Unit were nine men who were of the 
required age and who had the necessary sea service, with training 
at Bumkin Island and at the naval rifle range at Wakefield. These 
nine men were permitted to take the entrance examinations for 
the ensign schools. Eight of the nine passed, with seven of the 
eight ranked in the first hundred of the more than two hundred and 
fifty men who took the examinations. One, however, failed to 
meet the physical requirements, and so seven men from the Boston 
University Naval Unit were admitted to the last ensign schools, one 
going to Pelham Bay and six to Cambridge. Of these seven, six 
won their commissions as ensigns, one obtaining his release from 
service during the school term. 

At a dinner at the Hotel Brunswick after demobilization the 
members of the unit effected a permanent organization as the Bos- 
ton University Naval Unit, electing Ensign Jackson, president, 
Ensign Clark, treasurer, and Professor Center, secretary. 




CAPTAIN HERBERT F . H A R T W E L L 



WAR RECORD 77 

HERBERT F. HARTWELL 

HERBERT F. HARTWELL, '03, College of Liberal Arts, 
received high honors for distinguished gallantry during the 
war. Captain Hartwell, formerly of the 104th Infantry, 26th 
Division, was one of the very few American officers of junior rank 
who won the coveted decoration of the Cross of the Legion of Honor 
of France, the highest honor awarded by the French Republic. 
General de Buyer proposed Captain Hartwell for Chevalier of the 
Legion of Honor. The award was in recognition of Captain Hart- 
well's "signal services as a Liaison Officer" with the French Army. 
When the Cross of the Legion of Honor decoration was conferred 
at Nancy one battalion of troops from the Iron Division, which was 
the 26th Division of the French Army, and one battalion from the 
39th French Division of the 20th C. A. turned out in his honor. 
Besides the citation accompanying the French decoration, Captain 
Hartwell has personal citations from the French Generals de Buyer 
and Paulinier, and also from General Edwards of the 26th Divi- 
sion, Colonel, afterward General, George H. Shelton, 104th In- 
fantry, Colonel Henry H. Harjes, Chief of the Liaison Service. 
While doing the liaison work Captain Hartwell was attached to 
the headquarters of the 20th French Army Corps. Captain Hart- 
well was decorated for bravery in action with the Croix de Guerre 
with gold star on recommendation of Marechal Petain, Com- 
mander-in-Chief of the French Armies, with the following citation: 

P. C.

Captain Hartwell saw a German Gotha land at night and made 
a rush for the crew. He captured the two aces, with the sergeant 
major, and took them to the nearest American headquarters. These 
were the first German aviators captured by the A. E. F.

SPECIAL WORK IN MATHEMATICS FOR THE S. A. T. C. 

Robert E. Bruce 

[Professor R. E. Bruce is head of the Department of Mathematics in the Col- 
lege of Liberal Arts of Boston University.] 

THREE courses given by the Department of Mathematics 
were required in one or another of the S. A. T. C. programs; 
viz., plane trigonometry, surveying, and navigation. The regis- 
tration in navigation was not large, as not many men elected the 
program for which it was required. In the course in trigonometry 
there were nine divisions. The course in surveying had an enrolment 
of over one hundred. The following members of the faculty assisted 
the members of the department in the work of instruction: Pro- 
fessors A. W. Weysse, N. A. Kent, W. G. Aurelio, Messrs. J. R. 
Martin, and L. B. Taylor. The following teachers from other 
institutions assisted: Mr. J. A. Marsh, English High School, Boston; 
Mr. Paul Norton, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Most 
valuable aid was given by Mr. Ernest W. Branch, A.B. '88, who, 
in spite of heavy work in his own office, due to a large government 
contract, gave eight hours per week as supervisor of field work in 
surveying. 

r 



WAR WORK OF THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS 

THE war work of the College of Liberal Arts may best be divided 
into three parts: the preparedness period, and the two college 
years during which the country was actually at war. 

On March 23, 1917, Dean Warren appointed a "Faculty Com- 
mittee on Preparedness," consisting of Professors C. P. Huse, N. A. 
Kent, and S. M. Waxman. Under the auspices of this committee, 
a preparedness meeting was held on April 2, 1917. After President 
Murlin had given an introductory address, Mrs. James J. Storrow, 
President of the Women's City Club of Boston, and Colonel Frank 
L. Locke, of the Boston Young Men's Christian Association, out- 
lined the fields of activities which young men and young women, 
respectively, could enter. Dr. Waxman gave a short talk on the 
Corps Cadets. Miss Esther M. Nazarian, '17, presented to the col- 



WAR RECORD 79 

lege a large flag, purchased by the Girls' Glee Club with the pro- 
ceeds of its 1917 concert, and Dean Warren suitably acknowledged 
the gift. Resolutions were then passed pledging the support of the 
student body to the war program of the Government. The meeting 
closed with the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner." 

On April 11a second assembly was held. Dean Warren presided, 
and addresses were given by the following: Miss Mary F. Stratton, 
Secretary-Treasurer of the Boston School of Physical Education, on 
"Reconstruction Work;" Miss Edna Cutter, of the New England 
Branch of the Woman's National Farm and Garden Association, 
on "Farm Work for Women During the Summer;" and Miss Mabel 
G. Curtis on the details of registration for farm work. Announce- 
ments were made by Mr. Frank Kingdon, '20. Singing, directed by 
Professor H. Augustine Smith, closed the meeting. Lists of war 
activities open to men, and of summer activities suitable for men 
and women, were shortly after prepared and posted. Classes were 
quickly formed for Red Cross and First Aid work. There were 
enrolled a total of 145 students from the College of Liberal Arts; 
10 also entered from the College of Business Administration. The 
various groups were directed by six physicians from our Medical 
School, who volunteered their assistance. 

In the early fall of 1917, our country being actually at war, the 
name "Faculty Committee on Preparedness" was changed to 
" War Time Activities Committee." That a closer connection 
might exist between the Faculty Committee and the student body, 
there was formed on October 17 a "Liberty Committee," composed 
of two representatives, a man and a woman, from each of the four 
classes of the college, with, in addition, other prominent students. 
The members of this committee were: Frank Kingdon, '20, Alice 
Springfield, '18, Shields Warren, '18, Margaret H. Thompson, '19, 
Warren H. Wardle, '19, Esther V. Thurston, '20, Rudolph Bennitt, 
'20, Mary S. Mills, '21, Norman M. Martin, Elsie M. Woodland, 
'18, Ursula M. Cronin, '20; also Miss Rachel Hard wick and Pro- 
fessor Norton A. Kent. The Faculty Committee on War Time 
Activities was further strengthened by the addition of Miss Rachel 
Hardwick, and student and faculty committees alike entered ener- 
getically upon the second period of their war work. Special courses 
in the Chemistry of Foods and on Hygiene for trained attendants, 
and a new course in Navigation were offered at the College of Liberal 
Arts. Each noon representatives from the Department of French 



80 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

in the College of Liberal Arts lunched with army officers situated 
in near-by armories, in order to instruct and drill them in the use 
of the French language. 

On November 1 Brewer Eddy addressed the students, giving 
his famous talk, "In the War Camps at Home and Overseas." This 
meeting netted over $120, and the proceeds were used to buy yarn, 
which the young women of the college knitted into sweaters for 
the men at the front. The first great Young Men's Christian Asso- 
ciation campaign, known in the colleges as the Students' Friendship 
War Fund Campaign, then followed. The friendship idea appealed 
strongly to the student body, and the campaign made a deep im- 
pression. The college pledged $1,290.20. Every cent of this pledge 
was paid. The class of 1920 bought a Series II Liberty Bond and 
presented it to the College Library. 

November 23 the Liberty Committee was affiliated with the 
Student Council. 

On December 13 a food conservation rally was held. Dr. Lyman 
C. Newell spoke on the subject, "How We Can Help Win the War 
by Conserving Food." There were placed on exhibition plastic 
models loaned by the courtesy of the Plastic Novelty and Specialty 
Company, of New York, and of their agents in Boston, the F. H. 
Thomas Co. There were also displayed certain charts and photo- 
graphs dealing with food conservation. 

The December Red Cross Campaign brought in 94 new members 
from the college. 

December 17 it was voted that the Student Council and Liberty. 
Committee combine under the name of "The War Council." 

On February 7, 1918, a play was given by the students for the 
benefit of the Cercle Frangais. This netted $125.00. 

In March^and April over 400 books were collected for the Sol- 
diers' Library. 

In May $52 was sent to one of our graduates, William C. Poole, 
S.T.B. '17, doing Y. M. C. A. work in London. This money was 
used for the benefit of our American soldiers passing through that 
city. 

During the college year our young women knitted for the men 
in the service a total of 41 sweaters. 

In February two assemblies were held, one addressed by Mr. 
William Howland, who had been in the Ambulance Corps in France 
and is now a teacher in Emerson College. His lantern slides of 



WAR RECORD 81 

the war zone in France brought vividly to the audience the almost 
irreparable devastation. At the other assembly Professor Thomas 
N. Carver, of Harvard University, spoke on "The Liquor Problem 
in War Time." 

During the latter part of the second semester, the "Woman on 
the Land" movement was urged. Reports were compiled on work 
and wages for men in factories. 

In the closing weeks of the second semester a campaign was 
launched to place men and women in patriotic work during the 
summer months — on the farms, or in ship-building or munition 
plants. 

The faculty and student committees assisted, to a small extent, 
in the Navy League campaign, the Provincetown Hostess House 
enterprise, and a campaign undertaken by the College of Business 
Administration to obtain money for comfort bags for its men at 
the front. 

The majority of college assemblies held on Thursday were 
directed by the combined faculty and student committees. 

The college year 1918-19 may be said to comprise the third 
period of our activity. The most important development this year 
was the formation of the War Service Union. The Faculty Commit- 
tee on War Time Activities and the War Council combined in the 
formation of the War Service Union. This organization had a two- 
fold object: (1) To organize the student body so that every ounce 
of energy should be consecrated to the national task; (2) to maintain 
a clearing-house for all student activities connected with the war, 
to provide a recognized authority for the sanctioning of such activ- 
ities, and to mass behind all sanctioned efforts the forces of the 
War Service Union. The organization of the Union was as follows:

During this year the presence of the S.A.T.C. and the Naval 
Unit greatly complicated the life of the college; but despite these 
difficulties, the year was one of marked activity, and substantial 
results were obtained. The important events of the year were as 
follows : 

On November 1 an organization meeting, addressed by the 
Chief Executive, Frank Kingdon, was held in Jacob Sleeper Hall. 

On November 13, in the Old South Church, a great assembly was 
convened. The chief speaker was Brewer Eddy, who spoke on 
"With the Red Triangle on Four Fronts." The meeting was not 
only a War Service Union assembly but the opening of the Univer- 
sity drive for the United War Work Fund. There were in attendance 
the President of the University, the Deans of the various depart- 
ments, members of the faculties, the civilian students, and the 825 
members of the Students' Army Training Corps and Naval 
Unit, who entered the auditorium in a body. 

This special war drive was ably conducted in the various depart- 
ments by the following persons: S.A.T.C. and Naval Unit, Louis 
Stone, in cooperation with Lieut. Arthur H. Wehle; College of 
Liberal Arts, Miss Marion A. Wheeler, '20; College of Business 
Administration, Mr. Emery T. Dyer; Department of Education, 
Miss Ruth Olive Halford; Law School, Miss Mary F. Downey, '20, 
and Mr. Deane C. Davis, '21; Medical School, Miss Eleanor B. 
Ferguson, '20; Theological School, Mr. William M. Taylor, '19. 
In addition to the above, several instructors assisted in the canvass. 
Local rallies were held in different departments of the University, 



WAR RECORD 83 

and in the College of Liberal Arts an auction of war drive posters 
was held. 

Some urgent war needs necessarily ceased with the signing of the 
armistice, but the amount of money pledged by the College of 
Liberal Arts to the United War Work Fund, $2,198.31, has not only 
been fully paid, but the amount received to date has reached the 
figure $2,209.61, and is still growing. 

The most interesting, possibly the most exciting, meeting of the 
year was that of November 11, 1918. It was an impromptu Victory 
Celebration. Mr. Frank Kingdon led the cheering. President Mur- 
lin. Dean Warren, Mrs. E. Charlton Black, and Mr. Kingdon were 
among the speakers. Professor Waxman led the students in 
singing the "Marseillaise." Patriotic songs were sung. Class exer- 
cises were suspended for the day. 

At the assembly meeting of December 5, excerpts from letters 
received from our men at the front were read. 

February 20 a mass meeting was held, the subject being the 
"League of Nations." A stirring address was delivered by Mr. 
Kingdon. 

Miss Marion Bradford, '19, in a careful and exhaustive report, 
gives the following figures regarding the Red Cross work of the col- 
lege during the year 1918-19: The Red Cross membership reached 
182 in the college, while those joining at home were 148, making a 
total of 330; two magazine subscriptions were obtained during the 
year; 57 men's sweaters, 87 pairs of men's socks, 90 children's 
sweaters, and 46 pairs of children's socks were knitted by our 
young women; 1,377 comfort kits were filled, rolled, placed in 
bags, and packed ready for shipment; eight volunteer workers 
helped in the house-to-house canvass for the Boston Dispensary; 
several young women served in the Home Service Section of the 
American Red Cross, doing clerical work in the city; and $87 was 
collected for the Public Welfare Campaign. 

Of certain other committees the following reports are 
submitted: 

Miss Clara V.Sargent, '19, states for the War Literature Commit- 
tee that no demand was made on the committee until the call for 
books in December for the debarkation stations and hospitals. An 
individual canvass of all students was then taken, but owing to 
previous demands only seventy books were received. A large box 



84 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

of magazines was received from a member of the faculty. All were 
taken to headquarters at the Boston Public Library. 

In March a large number of war information pamphlets were 
distributed among the students through the various study rooms. 

For the Publicity Committee Miss Dorothy S. Smyth, '19, states 
that posters and notices were provided for all assemblies. Summer 
work report cards were distributed and collected, and the Victory 
Loan Campaign was pushed with vigor. An incomplete poll of 
faculty and students indicated that about $10,000 was probably 
the total of subscriptions, about $2,500 being from the student body.

Among the other activities of the War Service Union may be 
enumerated the War Service Union Membership Fee Campaign, 
which netted $20.50 in the College of Liberal Arts and $8.50 in the 
College of Business Administration; Italian Tag Day, on which a 
small sum of money was raised; an extensive campaign, conducted 
by Miss Dorothy S. Smyth, '19, the object being to ascertain the 
nature and extent of patriotic work, remunerative or non-remunera- 
tive, performed by our students during the summer of 1918. 

The Faculty Committee on War Time Activities has at present 
writing, upon its list of those who have served their country in 
this war, a total of 126 men and 10 women. During the prepared- 
ness and war periods, five circular letters were sent to our men and 
women in the service, and many interesting replies were received. 

The committee wishes to express its deep appreciation of all 
that the students have done to bring to completion the great success 



WAR RECORD 85 

of these periods of war activity. To mention all who served would 
be impossible; the lists would well-nigh be a counterpart of the 
catalogues of students in the various college classes. Much pains- 
taking and loyal work has been done by the chairmen of both reg- 
ular and special committees, and theofficers of theLiberty Commit- 
tee, the War Council and War Service Union, the secretaries. Miss 
Margaret H. Thompson, '19, and Miss Mary A. Rowan, '19, espe- 
cially bearing a heavy burden of work. 

The Faculty Committee owes a debt of gratitude to Miss Hilda 
S. Murray, '20, for her faithful and skilful services as secretary, 
and to Miss Edith N. Snow, '20, for the preparation of a card index 
of our men and women in service. In closing we cannot express too 
strongly our obligation to Mr. Frank Kingdon, whose whole-hearted 
enthusiasm, able leadership, and fruitful service have meant so 
much to both the faculty and the students during those recent 
strenuous but victorious months.

WAR ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY 

WHEN America entered the war the student body was called 
together and given the world challenge. In a sense it came to 
the ministers as to no other class or individual. The cause was so 
deeply one of righteousness and civilization that it seemed to the 
leaders of the school that it would be difficult for anyone of military 
age to preach righteousness and not be willing in such a world crisis 
to fight, and if need be die, for it, as did He whose life is the preach- 
er's theme. Pacifism, and a totally emasculate interpretation of the 
gospel, had, it was discovered, found lodgment in a few individuals 
of the student body, largely through influences not now in the school. 
But as the great cause loomed larger and vision became clearer, 
these practically all saw the error of a judgment as mistaken as it 
was sincere, and the response to the world call was not less than re- 



86 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

markable. The school gave as large a proportion as has been heard 
of in any institution or department, though the minister was by law 
exempt from service. No effort was made to secure students for 
the following year. All were told they should enter the service if 
possible. The entering class of 1918 was therefore but 17. 

Each war loan was taken up by the student body and liberally 
subscribed for, as was each drive by welfare organizations, the stu- 
dents out of meager means reaching remarkable totals. 

Most of the students attending the school during the war were 
regular pastors of churches, and did much to raise the patriotic 
morale of their people. 

Great speakers were constantly brought to the school to give 
the highest interpretation of the world crisis to those who in their 
turn carried it to their people. 

Those remaining in the school were largely the more mature 
men with families, and practically all of these were ready at any 
time to go when the need was imperative. 



WAR ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL OF LAW 

APRIL 19, 1918, was known as Tribute Day at the School of 
Law. The students of the school, with a number from outside, 
met in the large lecture hall, where a United States flag and portraits 
of President Wilson and Governor McCall, and a volume contain- 
ing the portraits of the Law School men who were in the national 
service, were presented to the school by the three classes. The Law 
School members of the Boston University Battalion, which was in 
camp at Lexington during the holiday, came back to Boston for the 
exercises, and returned to camp at noon. 

Dean Albers introduced Reverend Father Lyons, president of 
Boston College, who opened the exercises with prayer. Almost 
immediately Honorable Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, 
arrived. He was accompanied by Mayor Peters, of the City of Bos- 
ton, Rear-Admiral Spencer S. Wood, in charge of the first naval dis- 
trict, Lieutenant-Commander Carter, personal aide to the secretary, 
and Commandant Rush and officers from the navy yard. Secretary 
Daniels, as reported by the University News, April 23, 1918, said 
in part: 



WAR RECORD 87 

"It is well that exercises on such a day as this and on such an 
occasion should be begun by asking the divine blessing, for we have 
come to realize, in this tremendous period in the world's history 
through which we are passing, that religion and patriotism are in- 
separable, now and forever, 

"I love to look into the faces of these young men — but there 
are no old men now. Men with years of life and experience behind 
them have been touched by a new spirit, and old men have become 
young. 

"We have no old men in the navy. All men in the navy are young. 
That is because they daily come into direct and personal contact 
with youth. The navy is an institution of youth. When the great 
fleet of American war vessels made its famous trip around the world, 
the average age of the men in the fleet was twenty years. Not the 
age of the enlisted men, you understand. The average included 
that great sea warrior, Fighting Bob Evans, and it included all the 
officers." 

Secretary Daniels paid a tribute to the spirit of the navy in war 
time. "But everywhere I go," he said, "I find the same spirit among 
all Americans. There is no place in America for any man who lacks 
faith in the eternal success of the principles for which we are fighting. 
"Whenever I look at the flag," Secretary Daniels said, as he 
brought his remarks to a close, "I think of the tribute to our national 
emblem spoken by the most distinguished citizen of Massachusetts, 
I believe, since Daniel Webster — the late Senator Hoar." The 
Secretary quoted the eloquent words, to the eff^ect that the most 
beautiful sight in the world was the sight of the flag of one's country 
in a foreign land. "Unfortunately," said Secretary Daniels, "Sen- 
ator Hoar did not in his time see that sight so often as it could have 
been seen a generation before; he did not see it so frequently as 
travelers over the world shall see it in the days that are to come." 

Dean Albers introduced Mr. Charles W. Lyons, of the class of 
1919, who presented to the school the portrait of President Wilson. 
Professor Chandler M. Wood accepted the portrait and said: 

"At every time of great stress in our country's history she has 
been vouchsafed a great leader to give voice to the nation's highest 
aspirations. In the day of the foundation of the Republic, it was 
Washington; in the dark day of sectional division, it was Abraham 
Lincoln; in this great day, when our country has entered into the 
world's greatest war in order that the world may be a safe place to 



88 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

live in, it is Woodrow Wilson, who not only voices the aspirations 
of America, but is even the spokesman for the democracies of the 
world. 

"It is peculiarly appropriate that the portrait of President Wil- 
son should hang upon the walls of this Law School, where men are 
necessarily imbibing the principles upon which our common law is 
founded. The position of President Wilson in history is made defi- 
nite and clear by the demand he is making upon the world that the 
moral principles which govern the relations between individuals 
shall be applied to international laws and conduct. 

"President Wilson is the spokesman for the democracies of the 
world; he will again be the spokesman for the free nations of the 
world when world policies are to be decided at the end of the war." 

Mr. Lot McNamara, Jr., of the class of 1920, then presented the 
portrait of Governor McCall. Professor Harold M. Bowman ac- 
cepted the portrait as the gift of the school and paid a tribute to 
the governor. 

Mr. Fernand Despins, vice-president of the class of 1918, then 
presented the book of portraits of the Law School men who are in 
the national service. Professor Frank Leslie Simpson accepted the 

gift- 
Governor McCall arrived at this part of the exercises. Dean 
Albers, in introducing Governor McCall, announced as the gover- 
nor's topic, "The Flag." Governor McCall said in part: 

"I was much impressed by the flag I saw over the door of this 
building as I entered — a flag with as many stars in its field as there 
are in the Milky Way. That is a more eloquent tribute to the flag 
than I could possibly pay, that tribute of the young men who have 
gone out from this great University into the service of their country 
to uphold the honor of that flag and the principles for which it stands. 
"It is a beautiful flag, but it is made beautiful because it stands 
for liberty and right and justice and government by law. If it stood 
for tyranny, oppression, and injustice, it would be a hideous thing, 
no matter how beautiful it might be merely as a thing to look at. 
"Especially the flag stands for government by law. In times 
like these, when the newspapers are telling us so much that is true, 
and so much, I am afraid, that is not quite so true, it is well to re- 
member that. A nation is apt to become hysterical. We want to be 
careful about that. We want to see that nothing happens that we 
shall be ashamed of and sorry for after the war is over." 



WAR RECORD 89 

Governor McCall spoke of acts of violence against alien enemies 
— even lynchings in some of our States. "There is one thing about 
lynching," he said; "it is illegal; it is brutal; but more than all that, 
it is cowardly. It is usually one unarmed man against many who 
are armed. When a thing like that is done, it sullies and tarnishes 
the heroism of our men in the field. 

"We are in the war to a finish, — a glorious finish, — but we 
want to keep ourselves right at home, so that when peace comes it 
will honor us. We want to turn the world into a world which is 
governed by law; a world where the strong cannot trample the weak; 
where relations between nations shall be governed by the same 
principles that govern relations between individuals; where nations 
must submit their differences to a court. 

"We are battling against an iniquitous system which has existed 
from the be'ginningof time, and has for centuries sacrificed the flower 
of our youth upon the altars of the god of war. If we can put an 
end to that, our sacrifices will have been worth while." 

Mr. Edward Clayton Mathewson, president of the class of 1918, 
in presenting the flag to the school, said: 

"Mr. President, Dean Albers, and Faculty of Boston University 
School of Law: Many of the men of Boston University School of 
Law have answered the call to service in the World War. They have 
gone out to effect the realization of our ideals of justice and humanity 
and liberty, to guarantee to each nation the right to determine for 
itself the character of government under which it shall live, and to 
establish those same ideals for which one-half the world is fighting 
to-day, — the ideals of human freedom. 

"Perhaps Boston University is the first educational institution to 
take steps to perpetuate the records of the loyalty of her fighting sons 
and to seek to honor them during their lives, in appreciation of their 
patriotism, rather than at a later time when they have won dis- 
tinction or that oblivion which disregards distinction and is insen- 
sible to honor or to praise; for it is our belief that when a man has 
joined the colors he has thereby proved his patriotism, and that the 
rest is largely a matter of opportunity or event. Many a potential 
hero goes through years of service, faithfully performing the duties 
assigned to him without opportunity to display the mettle he is made 
of, while another, in the rush of battle, may, under the eye of one 
who lives to tell the tale, do some brilliant and spectacular deed 
that wins immortal fame or signal honor. 



90 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

"At least one of our students has been cited for bravery. We 
honor him. No less, however, do we honor his comrades to whom 
has not yet been offered the opportunity for the conspicuous mani- 
festation of that bravery which all of them really possess. 

"Loyalty and patriotism are as truly indicated by the entry into 
the service — by this offer of life on the country's altar — as by 
any specific exhibition of courage. 'Greater love hath no man than 
this, that a man lay down his life for his country.' 

"Before they joined the colors these men sat here in this lecture 
hall, some of them with us as classmates. We were with these 
men when this great cause of freedom called them — when the 
appeal became so strong that they placed their loyalty to this cause 
and to their country above all personal aspirations, and above the 
ties of home and friends. Of our admiration for the patriotism and 
loyalty of our men the idea was born in the hearts of the class of 
1918 to honor, during their lives, every one of our University men 
who is in this World War. 

"To commemorate such service, so unselfishly given for the 
cause of democracy, for the principles of free government estab- 
lished in the time of Washington, welded together under the hand 
of Lincoln, and furthered by the sacrifices of our countrymen under 
McKinley to free the land of Cuba and give it back to her people, 
so that they might live under the character of government deter- 
mined for themselves, and now sought by President Wilson to be 
extended to the peoples of all nations, there can be no more suitable 
token than the emblem which represents the call that overcomes 
a man's wavering between his loyalty to his country and the ties 
of home, and which symbolizes all the suspense of those who remain 
at home and await the safe return of their men, and the fortitude 
with which fathers, mothers, wives, sisters, and brothers bear the 
heartaches and the sorrows of the waiting, and the greater sorrow 
which comes with the news that the life which is so dear to them 
has been given as the greatest sacrifice that one can make for his 
country. 

"This emblem, our flag, we present to you in honor of these 
men of our University." 

Dean Albers, accepting the flag, spoke as follows: 

"This school has furnished to this Commonwealth three of its 
governors, — William E. Russell, John L. Bates, and David L 
Walsh. The chief justice and a majority of the justices of the highest 



WAR RECORD 91 

court in this Commonwealth, many of the judges of the Superior 
Court, still more of the inferior courts, the present attorney-general, 
many congressmen and legislators, received their legal education 
here. 

"Nor is Massachusetts alone of our States indebted to this 
school for able officers. Governors, judges, attorney-generals, 
congressmen from adjoining States, the Middle West, and the 
Pacific Slope, studied law here. Federal judges — in this circuit, 
in the North and East, to Florida in the South, the Philippines and 
Manila in the Far West, or Far East — came from here; so that we 
could truly paraphrase the British boast and say that the sun never 
sets upon the scales of justice held by the judicial hands of the 
graduates of this school. We are justly proud of this record. 

"Within the last few years the standard of scholarship for ad- 
mission and for graduation has been raised, but notwithstanding 
this elevation, there has been, until this year, a great increase in 
the number of students. We took pride in this elevation in the 
standard of legal education, and in the increase in numbers and 
prosperity of the school. 

"Then came the war, and our numbers faded away. Over forty 
former members of this year's senior class have been called to the 
colors — nearly as many as the total graduating class of 1911. Our 
pride in this decrease is even greater than was our pride because 
of the increase. We glory in the departure of our comrades. They 
have gone to serve their school in a higher plane; their have gone 
to serve their country; they have gone in order that the flag may 
be unsullied and unconquered. We do well to remember them; 
we honor ourselves in honoring them. 

" 'Breathes there a man with soul so dead 
Who never to himself hath said: 
"This is my own, my native land!" ' 

"Therefore, members of the senior class, in behalf of the school 
and of the University, with gratitude and with pride, I accept this 
flag. I thank you for the flag itself, its texture and its beauty. It is 
possible that loving prejudice or partiality may affect our judgment, 
but it seems to me that ours is the most beautiful flag of any in 
the world. 

"I thank you also for the spirit of loyalty and the sentiment 
towards the school which you have hereby shown; and even still 
more do I thank you for the loyalty and the sentiment towards our 



92 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

country which this gift evinces. Your gift and the flag itself sym- 
bolize patriotism, willingness to sacrifice, wholehearted devotion 
to our country. The flag is beautiful, but the ideals which it repre- 
sents are transcendent. 

"No one of us can behold it without a deep feeling of respon- 
sibility to higher than earthly ideals. In the words of a western 
American: 'The true American patriot is ever a worshiper; that 
starry symbol of his country's sovereignty is to him radiant with a 
diviner glory than that which meets his mortal vision. It epit- 
omizes the splendid results of dreary ages of experiments and fail- 
ures in human government, and as he gazes upon its starry folds, 
undulating responsive to the whispering winds of the upper air, 
it sometimes seems to his rapt spirit to recede farther and still 
farther into the soft blue sky, until the very heavens open, and angel 
hands plant it on the battlements of Paradise.' " 

President Murlin then pronounced the benediction. During 
the exercises Miss Leveroni sang the "Marseillaise," the Italian 
Anthem, Garibaldi's Hymn, and the "Star-Spangled Banner." 



At a meeting of the students of the School of Law held in Decem- 
ber, 1917, Mr. Edward Clayton Mathewson, president of the class 
of 1918, gave an address on "Loyalty." This meeting was prepara- 
tory to "Tribute Day." A copy of this address was sent to every 
Law School man in the national service. Mr. Mathewson was very 
enthusiastic in his war activities. He enlisted in April, 1917, but 
though rejected on May 30 of that year, made other attempts to 
get into active service, but was not accepted. 

Each of the classes 1918, 1919, and 1920 purchased a Liberty 
Bond. The three classes raised a fund and sent a Christmas box to 
each member of the school who was in service in December, 1917.

WAR ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 

John P. Sutherland 
[Dr. John P. Sutherland is Dean of the School of Medicine of Boston University.] 

DURING the war the Medical Department was busy in various 
ways, but did not hold any rallies or special meetings. 
The members of the faculty subscribed to both the Fourth and 
Fifth Liberty Loans. 



TVAR RECORD 93 

All of the eligible students of the school were inducted into the 
service as members of the Medical Enlisted Reserve Corps, and 
later were inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps. 

The members of the faculty served on Draft Boards and Medical 
Examination Boards, and a number saw active service. 

The members of the faculty subscribed at least $46,400 to 
the Fourth Liberty Loan. 

During the war the School of Medicine took care of 1,215 soldiers 
and sailors in the Hospital and West Department, Brighton, and 
172 at the Nash House. 

Base Hospital No. 44 was organized in the summer of 1917 and 
called to the service March 10, 1918.

WAR RELIEF WORK OF THE BOSTON UNIVERSITY 
WOMEN GRADUATES' CLUB 

Pauline Nelson Hartstone 

[Mrs. Pauline Nelson Hartstone, a graduate of the School of Law of Boston 
University, '05, was president of the Boston University Women Graduates' Club.] 

IN April, 1917, a meeting was held to consider war work. One 
member of the faculty from each department of Boston Univer- 
sity was invited to tell of the work being done by his department. 
At this meeting it was decided to cooperate with Boston Univer- 
sity in every possible way, and the president of the club was dele- 
gated to confer with President Murlin and offer the club's services. 

The policies and character of the club's work immediately 
changed: each meeting was centered about war work, and men and 
women of prominence gave talks on this all-absorbing subject. 

All receipts from readings and entertainments were added to 
the war fund to be used solely for war work and war benevolences. 

A largely attended public patriotic rally, under the auspices of the 
Women Graduates' Club and arranged entirely by them, was held 
in Jacob Sleeper Hall, March 8, 1918, with speakers from all depart- 
ments of the University, to tell the public "What Boston Univer- 
sity Is Doing in the War." 

One of the first war activities was to help the College Women's 
Hospitality Center at Provincetown for the benefit of men in the 



94 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

coast-patrol service. Women of various colleges undertook this 
work under the direction of Mrs. Percy G. Bolster, of the Boston 
University Women Graduates' Club. Besides aiding financially, 
several members of the club served as hostesses. 

Miss Mary K. Taylor, A.B. '10, a member of the club, was 
sent abroad as its representative for social service work in France. 
A report of her efficient work is to be published within a short time. 

Substantial financial aid and encouragement were given Mrs. 
Waxman, wife of Professor Samuel M. Waxman, of Boston Uni- 
versity, and her committee, who have maintained for nearly four 
years a rest house for French soldiers in Paris known as L'CEuvre 
des Petits Blesses, Fondation des Cercle Frangais de I'Universite 
de Boston. 

The Boston University Women Graduates' Club helped to keep 
"open house" for the social life ofthe Students' Army Training Corps. 

The American Red Cross at Washington, D.C., was helped by 
the club in its effort to secure college women to go abroad as nurses, 
aids, and assistants under its direction. 

The local Red Cross and Special Aid Societies were materially 
helped by contributions by individual members of money and 
clothing, canteen work, and motor transportation. 

The Government was aided by members speaking for liberty 
loans and selling bonds, and by the work of members who served 
on the legal advisory board. 

The Massachusetts Board of Food Administration appealed 
to the Boston Branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae to 
undertake the work of retail price-reporting, known as a piece of 
war emergency work; and to the Boston University Women Grad- 
uates' Club was assigned the large district comprising Jamaica 
Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, Mattapan, and West Roxbury. 

The last notable club action was a contribution of money toward 
the maintenance and support of a French girl at Boston University, 
and an additional sum to close the work of the L'CEuvre des Petits 
Blesses. 

Contributions amounting to five hundred dollars were dis- 
tributed by the club among the various war benevolences. 

Special mention must be made of Mrs. Herbert D. Boyd, under 
whose able direction and leadership this big work was accomplished.

COLONEL LEONARD P. AYRES 



WAR RECORD 95 

LEONARD P. AYRES 

ONE of the members of the Presidential Peace Party was Colonel 
Leonard P. Ayers of the General Staff of the Army, He made 
the trip in the capacity of Chief Statistical Officer of the Presidential 
Party. 

At the outbreak of the war Colonel Ayres went to Washington 
and urged the organization of a statistical service which should fur- 
nish those in positions of top control with a fact basis for thinking 
and acting. He tendered not only his own services, but those of the 
Statistical and Educational Divisions of the Russell Sage Founda- 
tion, of which he was at that time director. The offer was accepted 
and Colonel Ayres became the Director of the Division of Statistics 
of the Council of National Defense. As the work expanded he 
organized and became Director of the Division of Statistics of the 
War Industries Board, the Priorities Committee, and the Allies' 
Purchasing Commission. 

These services involved work which was so confidential in 
nature that it was decided to incorporate in the War Department 
those portions dealing with strictly military information. The 
Director was commissioned as Lieutenant Colonel in the Army 
while his assistants were taken into other ranks of the commissioned 
service. Colonel Ayres was then appointed Chief Statistical Officer 
of the General Staff, and his office prepared weekly secret reports 
for the President, the Secretary of War, the Chief of Staff, and the 
generals in charge of the different divisions of the Army. He also 
organized and conducted the service by which the Department 
transmitted each week to the military committees of the House and 
Senate the salient information regarding the progress of the war. 

The news of the value of this work to the Administration in 
America reached the ears of General Pershing, who cabled over 
asking that similar services be organized for him in France, 
and Colonel Ayres was sent over at the head of a selected body of 
officers and statistical assistants to undertake the work. In France 
he was stationed at General Pershing's headquarters and organized 
the services of statistical information for both the General Head- 
quarters in the zone of the advance and the Supply Services behind 
the advanced zone. 

During the summer he represented the United States Army in 
joint conference held by the Supreme War Council at Versailles to 



96 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

determine what sorts of information should be exchanged among 
the Allied governments and the United States. Later he was present 
at the Shipping Conference in London by which this country bor- 
rowed British ships for moving our Army and its supplies. 

He returned to this country in October after having been 
present at the battle of St. Mihiel and seeing active service at other 
points in the Front. Upon his return he was promoted to be a full 
Colonel, made Chief of the Statistics Branch of the General Staff, 
and made a member of the General Staff. 

In his published report the Secretary of War announced that 
the services which Colonel Ayres has organized will be retained as a 
permanent part of our Army organization.

THE DIVISION OF STATISTICS 
Leonard Porter Ayres 
[Colonel Leonard Porter Ayres, College of Liberal Arts, '02, was Chief Statis- 
tical Officer of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace, Paris, December, 
1918, to May, 1919.] 

IN the winter of 1901, Professor W. M. Warren labored to induct 
the writer into a comprehension of the nature of knowledge. He 
said that there were two elements in knowledge, namely, truths 
and facts. He further distinguished between the different classes 
of facts, pointing out that some of them were essential, while others 
were only incidental. 

Early in the winter of 1917 the writer conferred with his asso- 
ciates in regard to these principles. He argued that there was every 
indication that we were going to declare war on Germany, and that 
when this happened the Government at Washington would find 
that it needed to have at its disposal facts with regard to America's 
resources. He further argued that some one who had been inducted 
by Professor Warren into a comprehension of the nature of knowl- 
edge should forthwith go to Washington to impress upon the 
authorities there the necessity of creating an organization to make 
the facts available. This organization should sort the facts out 
into the essential ones and the incidental ones, and present the 
essential facts to those in positions of top control, in order that they 
might use them as the raw material for making decisions. 

The associates to whom these arguments were presented were 
not favorably impressed. Nevertheless, the writer went to Washing- 



WAR RECORD 97 

ton and presented his arguments to influential persons in the Gov- 
ernment service. These dignitaries were not favorably impressed 
either. In the first place, they would not admit that there was 
going to be any war; in the second place, they did not think it would 
be necessary to have a special agency to collect the facts; and in the 
third place, they had never studied psychology under Professor 
Warren, and would not admit the validity of his categories. 

Nevertheless, the war came, and the writer went back to Wash- 
ington and insisted on establishing his office for the collection and 
dissemination of essential facts. This office became the Division 
of Statistics of the Council of National Defense, and devoted itself 
to finding out what kind of essential facts the people who were 
running the war needed to know. In military operations an essen- 
tial fact is known as a controlling factor, and it soon developed 
that the controlling factor in the raising of our new army was wool 
breeches. 

The first serious statistical work the office had to do was to pro- 
duce an authoritative statement as to how soon the United States 
could produce a sufficient number of wool breeches to make it pos- 
sible to issue the first draft call. Some army officers and some manu- 
facturers claimed that they could be ready in July. Others insisted 
that they could not be provided before December. Meanwhile, no 
final decisions could be made with regard to calling the men until 
some one could furnish the essential facts with regard to wool 
breeches. 

This piece of work led to others. The next controlling factor 
turned out to be shipping. How many ships were there? How many 
men could they carry ? How fast could they make their round trips ? 
How many pounds of food and munitions does each soldier consume 
each day, and how many tons of cargo shipping would be required 
to carry the material? All these questions had to be answered by 
the new office, and soon it became evident that there was a place 
for a military "fact-office" in the running of the war. 

During the summer of 1917 the Division of Statistics began 
issuing weekly secret reports for the Secretary of War and the 
Chief of Staff", telling what progress was being made in mobilizing 
men, manufacturing munitions, and shipping troops overseas. 
These reports were mostly made up of simple diagrams, and their 
outstanding characteristic was that they dealt only with the essen- 
tial facts, and omitted the incidental ones. Early in 1918 this work 



98 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

had grown to such dimensions and its output had become so con- 
fidential in nature that the army authorities decided to incorporate 
the organization as part of the regular military establishment. 

The offices were transferred to the War Department building 
and a number of the workers were commissioned as army officers. 
The writer was among these, and became a lieutenant-colonel in 
the National Army. From this time on the work increased rapidly 
in scope as those directing the military policies of the country in- 
creasingly realized the necessity for accurate information. As the 
Statistics Branch of the General Staff, the office continued to make 
reports each week on the progress of our war preparations. These 
reports were for the personal use of the Secretary of War and the 
Chief of Staff. Another and still more highly secret report was 
made each week to the President, and it is interesting to note 
that this report was in part patterned after the one made each 
week for King George by the British Army Intelligence Service in 
England. 

Besides relying upon the Statistics Branch for these weekly 
reports, the War Department turned over to it the work of classi- 
fying the confidential information and transmitting portions of it 
to certain men who had to take action and make decisions. These 
men had to have a fact-basis for their thinking and acting. The 
work was done by means of statistical lectures given by the writer. 
During 1918 five of these lectures were given each week. On Monday 
morning there was one before the War Council, at which all the 
latest facts with regard to men, munitions, and supplies were shown 
by a series of simple wall charts. On Monday noon much the same 
information was given to a group consisting of the brigadier and 
major-generals in command of the difi^erent divisions and bureaus 
of the War Department. On Wednesday all the facts with regard 
to shipments of men and supplies were set before a meeting known 
as the Maritime Conference, which included such men as the 
Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Hoover, Mr. 
Hurley, Mr. Schwab, Mr. Baruch, General Goethals, and others 
charged with the responsibility of getting the men and materials 
to France. Each Friday a general summary of the military situa- 
tion was presented to the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, 
and each Saturday similar material was given to the House Com- 
mittee on Military Affairs. These weekly lectures were continued 
regularly until after the signing of the armistice. 



WAR RECORD 99 

They were not, however, given by the writer during this entire 
time, for in the spring there came a cablegram from General Persh- 
ing asking to have established at his headquarters in France a 
statistical service similar to the one in Washington, of which rumors 
had reached him. Receipt of this cable was followed by some weeks 
of great activity. Officers of statistical experience were located 
in different organizations of the army and ordered to report at 
Washington for overseas service. A school for these officers was 
organized and an intensive course in military statistics given to all 
candidates for the new work. Finally, at the end of May, Statistics 
Unit A, under command of the writer, left Washington for France, 
where it duly arrived some weeks later. 

General Pershing proved to be like Secretary Baker in that he 
wanted only the essential facts, but, nevertheless, the work at 
his headquarters proved very different from that in Washington. 
In the former city facts were wanted in order that decisions as to 
policy might be made. At General Headquarters facts were wanted 
to aid in carrying out policies already formed and decisions already 
made. Nothing counted except end-results. The General wanted 
to know every day how many effective fighting men he could 
count on. He wanted to know where they were, what equipment 
they had, and what shortages existed in guns, trucks, rifles, or in 
other essential articles of warfare. He wanted the facts about 
losses and sick-rates, and he always wanted the very latest infor- 
mation with respect to the men landed from the ships in the last 
twenty-four hours and the amounts of supplies unloaded. All this 
information had to be accurate and absolutely up-to-date, and it all 
had to be placed on his desk ready for use by 8.30 each morning. 
It was the job of the Statistics Unit to have it there, and to create 
and administer a system to get it there and never fail. The summer 
of 1918 was a busy one for the members of the statistics units in 
France. 

In September the writer was ordered to the front, and had the 
privilege of seeing something of the operations of St. Mihiel, the 
Argonne Forest, and certain French sectors. After that came a 
hurried trip to England to participate in negotiations for the British 
shipping, which was to have aided in carrying through America's 
tremendous military program for 1919. In this same month, the 
writer, as senior statistical officer of the A. E. F., represented the 
American Army in joint conferences of the representatives of all 



100 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

the Allied Armies, called by the Supreme War Council at Ver- 
sailles, to decide what information each army should interchange 
with the others, and what data with respect to its own operations 
should regularly be furnished Marshal Foch. September was a 
busy month. 

Early in October came an order to accompany the Secretary 
of War back to the United States to undertake the further organ- 
ization and extension of the statistics work. This brought with it 
promotions in the shape of a commission as full Colonel, shortly 
followed by appointment as a member of the General Staff, and 
appointment as Chief of the Branch of the General Staff adminis- 
tering statistical services.- 

In November came new orders, this time to accompany the 
President to France as Chief Statistical Officer of the American 
Commission to Negotiate Peace. The work in Paris was intensely 
interesting, and it was a great privilege to have been able to partici- 
pate in it. In January came a tour of duty with the Army of Occu- 
pation in Germany, and later two trips to Belgium. Then followed 
weeks of computing on the indemnity clauses of the treaty and the 
economic sections. 

It proved impossible, however, to remain to the end of the 
peace negotiations. Late in April came new orders, this time to 
accompany the Secretary of War back to the United States in order 
to organize the material which might be needed for the expected 
Congressional inquiry into the conduct of the war. The time since 
returning has been spent in organizing these facts and in compiling 
the more important ones in a short statistical history published 
by the Government and entitled "The War with Germany — A 
Statistical Summary." 

This brings us up to the present time, which is the end of June, 
1919. Two years and three months have been spent in war service, 
and some further months must undoubtedly be added to this 
term before release from the army can be secured. The writer 
agrees with a friend of his in one of the combat divisions, who wrote 
to him from the battlefield: "It is simply scandalous how I have 
enjoyed this war up to date." The writer has enjoyed it also. He 
has been privileged to be stationed where policies were discussed 
and decisions made. He has seen much of history in the making. 
Under his direction hundreds of able men and women have worked 
with a singleness of mind and a devotion to duty that have been 



WAR RECORD 101 

inspiring in their example. It has been a privilege to direct military- 
statistical offices in Washington and at General Headquarters in 
France, at the Headquarters of the Services of Supply in France, 
in Paris, and at the American base in Antwerp. 

If the writer could express himself with the fulness of infor- 
mation, combined with the economy of words, in which he has 
attempted to train his assistants, he could more adequately tell 
the story of his experiences during the past two years in the brief 
compass of this article. That it could be done seems proved by a 
cablegram and a telegram which were sent by two of the writer's 
junior officers, and which succeeded in expressing much in few 
words. The cablegram was from one of the lieutenants to his father, 
and it read: "Captured, escaped, wounded, convalescent." The tel- 
egram was from another lieutenant to his mother. It was sent from 
Hoboken, and it read: "Debarked, deloused, demobilized, delighted." 

The writer, however, has not been able to say so much so briefly. 
He has dealt during the war with an enormous range of facts, some 
of them necessary and others merely contingent, some of them 
essential and others only incidental. The Statistics Branch of the 
Army has literally dealt during this war with all the elements 
of that improbable combination mentioned by "Alice in Wonder- 
land." It has reported on ships, and shoes, and sealing-wax, and 
cabbages, and kings. It has further reported on guns, and mules, 
and 6-inch shells, and gas-retaining rings, and beef and bullets, 
tanks and bombs, and trucks and airplane wings. When peace is 
signed the writer will find himself in the possession of an incom- 
parable mass of thoroughly worthless information. What he will 
do afterwards he does not know. He is reflecting on the essential 
quality of the truth expressed in Kipling's comment that "Army 
life is like army tobacco: it spoils a man's taste for milder things."

THE UNITED STATES EMPLOYMENT SERVICE FOR 
MASSACHUSETTS 

Everett W. Lord 

[Everett W. Lord, A.B. '00, A.M. '06, is Dean of the College of Business Ad- 
ministration of Boston University.] 

TN July, 1918, Dean Lord was requested by the Massachusetts 
-■- Public Safety Committee to accept an appointment under the 
United States Department of Labor as Federal Director of United 



102 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

States Employment Service for Massachusetts. The Employment 
Service had, by presidential proclamation, been given full control 
of unskilled labor in all war industries. All employers who had con- 
tracts with the Government were, by this proclamation, obliged to 
call upon the Employment Service, and only upon the Employment 
Service, for their labor, and a corresponding control of unskilled 
labor was thus given to the service. 

Dean Lord was authorized by the University Trustees to accept 
this position. Since the position carried no salary, the State Public 
Safety Committee undertook to reimburse the University for his 
salary during the term of office. 

The plan of organization of the Employment Service called for 
a local committee in every community in Massachusetts, with the 
organization of an employment office in every industrial center. 
Since the shipyards, munition plants, machine shops, and other 
war industries of the State were seriously in need of labor, the organ- 
ization of these employment offices was pushed with great rapidity. 
In addition to the employment offices, more than 200 enrolling 
agents were appointed to recruit laborers for the varied industries. 
Within a few weeks after the appointment more than forty employ- 
ment offices were organized, and the recruiting of labor was being 
carried on systematically in every community in the State. Under 
later authorization there was added to the jurisdiction of the Mas- 
sachusetts Office the lumber camps of northern New England, es- 
pecially the camps where spruce for air-planes was being cut. 
Several thousand laborers were sent from Massachusetts to these 
various camps. 

A professional department with a bureau for teachers was or- 
ganized early in 1919. The professional department undertook to 
secure engineers and other professional men and to enable men of 
professional training not directly employed in war industry to 
secure suitable employment. The Teachers' Bureau attempted 
both to place teachers in schools throughout New England and to 
secure for teachers forms of war employment for which their training 
fitted them. 

Immediately after the armistice the work of the Employment 
Service was changed to that of distributing the discharged soldiers 
and sailors and war workers into industry. Special bureaus for 
placement of soldiers and sailors were established with the coopera- 
tion of such organizations as the Young Men's Christian Associa- 



WAR RECORD 103 

tion, Jewish War Relief Board, and the Red Cross, and through 
these bureaus more than 30,000 discharged soldiers were aided to 
secure positions. 

Several bureaus were established at Camp Devens, and 
under the army regulations every soldier before being discharged 
was required to register with the Employment Service. Even those 
who did not desire aid of the service were thus recorded, and in many 
cases it was found that men who thought they had no need for the 
service were obliged to call upon it for assistance. 

At the request of the President of the University, Dean Lord 
asked to be released from the Employment Service in January, 1919, 
and again in March, but the Secretary of Labor so strongly urged 
him to continue during the period of demobilization that he with- 
drew his request. He continued as Federal Director until July, 
at which time, feeling that the need for his services was no longer 
urgent, he insisted that his resignation be accepted.

CHARLES W. WHITING 

CHARLES W. WHITING (C. B. A. 1916-18) died of wounds 
in France, September 10, 1918. He was attached to the Signal 
Corps, Headquarters Company, 308th Infantry. He was cited for 
bravery and awarded the American Distinguished Service Cross. 
The citation read as follows: 

"Private Charles W. Whiting, deceased. Headquarters Company, 
308th Infantry. During the advance to the Aisne, September 10, 
1918, Private Whiting was a lineman in charge of maintaining com- 
munication from Barbanvale to Blanzy. The line was under the 
direct observation of enemy O.P.'s, and had apparently been located 
as such by their observers, for although it was comparatively safe to 
walk a short distance away from the road along which the wire ran, 
the minute anyone approached the line, heavy enemy shell-fire im- 
mediately opened up. Private Whiting repaired break after break, 
and despite the fact that each time he started out to locate new 
trouble enemy one-pounders and field pieces were turned loose on 
the line, he courageously stuck to his work, manifesting extreme 
bravery and heroism throughout, until mortally wounded." 

His mother, Mrs. Annie C. Battles, of Avon, Mass., received 
from Chaplain Halligan of the 308th Infantry the following letter: 

"Your letter referring to the death of Private Charles W. Whit- 
ing of Headquarters Company, 308th Infantry, recently arrived. 
The notification you received was unfortunately correct. He was 
wounded while the regiment was engaged at the Vesle River, and 
died on September 10. 

"Charles was very well liked by the boys of his company who 
knew him. He was a good soldier and is numbered among our 
heroes. His name shall be inscribed on the monument which we 
propose to erect in France, in commemoration of our noble lads, 
who have paid their debt of patriotism by the supreme sacrifice. 
He is buried in the vicinity of the hospital where he died. The 
place must be near Chateau-Thierry. His grave is registered, and 
in time the Government intends to return his body to the States. 
Then you will receive notice. Will you please accept our sincere 
sympathy in your sorrow. Charles was your son, but our comrade, 
too. We feel that on this occasion we are privileged to express our 
sympathy to you, and we pray that God will comfort and console — 
and one day bring us to a meeting with Charles in eternity."

SHERMAN SEAL BROKAW 

SHERMAN SEAL BROKAW, a member of the class of 1920, 
College of Business Administration, was drowned in a blizzard 
on the night of December 12, 1917, while out on volunteer service 
in a rowboat off the entrance to Boston Harbor, trying to make fast 
a part of a submarine net. The boat in which Mr. Brokaw and his 
chum had gone out for duty was lost. Mr. Brokaw's body was not 
recovered. He was attached to the U. S. S. Shada at the time he 
was lost. 

A bronze tablet given to St. Crysostom's Episcopal Church, of 
WoUaston, Mass., by Ex-Councilman and Mrs. Vernon S. Brokaw, 
in memory of their son, was dedicated Sunday, February 1, 1920, 
with special services in the church. The tablet contains, in addition to 
Sherman Brokaw's name, the names of forty-nine other men and 
four women of the church who gave their services to their country 
during the World War. 

The tablet is surmounted by the seal of the United States of 
America. On the bottom is the inscription, "Greater love hath 
no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friend." 



108 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

IN MEMORIAM: SHERMAN SEAL BROKAW 

IN memory of Sherman Seal Brokaw, of the College of Business 
Administration, Day Division, '20, a member of the naval 
reserve, who with one of his mates was lost in Boston Harbor 
as a result of volunteering for extra-hazardous duty during a bliz- 
zard in December, 1917, a portrait, the gift .of his classmates, was 
unveiled and presented to the College of Business Administra- 
tion at a service held Monday, April 15, 1918. 

The address was given by President L. H. Murlin, who said, in 
part, as reported in the Boston University News for Tuesday, April 
23,1918: 

"It is hard for me to speak of any one of our students as an 
individual, but I should like to tell you the things that I believe 
Brokaw would say if he were standing in my place today." 

President Murlin then said that to Brokaw death was not the 
greatest sacrifice; he had already made that before he paid the last 
full measure. The great sacrifice came when he made up his mind 
to give himself body and soul to the service of his country — when 
he made ready to leave his home, friends, school, and all the promise 
of the future. After that nothing mattered. Death no longer was 
an accident; it became an incident. 

"I have talked with a clergyman who had visited army camps," 
said President Murlin, "and he talked to them of what the future 
might hold for them. Then one of the soldiers, in a truly democratic 
manner, told him to 'can that stuff; we 're not worrying about the 
future.' 

"A democracy is as strong as the weakest individual. It is 
therefore not an easy thing to live for one's country. It is hard to 
live in such a way that we may make ourselves worthy of the sacri- 
fices men like Brokaw are making for us. To be worthy members 
of a democracy each individual must keep body, soul, and spirit 
in the best possible condition. Live worthily — that is the message 
that Brokaw would wish to give you if he were here." 

Horace G. Thacker, president of the class, presented the picture, 
draped with an American flag. Mr. Thacker narrated the heroic 
manner in which Brokaw met his death. He expressed the hope 
that the picture would serve as a memorial and as an inspiration 
to future students. 

Dean Everett W. Lord accepted the gift for the college. He 




SHERMAN SEAL B R O K A W 



WAR RECORD 109 

promised that the memorial should remain where future students 
may see it and be inspired by its significance. He paid a tribute to 
Brokaw as a representative of all the students of the University 
who have entered the service; it was his special privilege to be the 
first to die, and his picture will inspire others with his spirit. 

Bishop C. Hunt recited Philip Nolan's apostrophe to the flag, 
from Edward Everett Hale's "A Man Without a Country," and 
an original and anonymous poem written especially for the occa- 
sion. The poem, which was printed in the Boston University News 
for April 23, 1918, follows: 

Spring comes and with it stir the primal joys 
Of rushing brooks, song birds, and bursting buds, 
Frogs piping in the meadows, and the smell 
Of new-turned earth. Who would not be alive 
When Massachusetts bids the snows be gone. 
Mirrors the fleecy clouds in her blue lakes. 
And hurries forward to the bursting rose? 
The green, gray roller on the sandy beach! 
The checkered sunlight of the Berkshire Hills! 
Ah youth! is it not brave to be alive? 
Is it not passing brave, still to be young. 
And see, and hear, and smell that life is good? 

Night black and cold; a sleety, winter wind 

Whipped stinging spray across the vessel's deck, 

Men fought the primal forces as men fought 

Down the long ringing ages, and must fight 

Up through the future to the bright day-star. 

A tangled rudder in a heaving sea, 

A young man's task to answer duty's call, 

A young man's life gone in an icy sea. 

Never for him the springtime and the song, 

Never for him the blue of summer days. 

Never for him the joy of coming home. 

And though at last the thunder of the war 

Is hushed in peace, and all the earth is healed. 

His golden bowl is broken and the brine 

Has glazed his sight. What means for him the shout 

That greets our boys rejoicing home from France? 

Does peace mean rest for him who is at rest? 

Where 's the reward for him who gave his all ? 

Ah! still we know the Eternal Will is good, 
And not unmarked does the lone sparrow fall. 
In God's great love we leave our comrade's fate. 



110 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

Is it not written large that God is good? 
But you who have the beauty of your lives 
And all the joy of life and youth and spring, 
Like some lone traveler wandering in the dark, 
Groping with doubtful steps his doubtful path. 
Who sudden sees a light stab through the night 
And glisten all along his destined path, 
So may you in this comrade's life behold 
A beacon and a light by which to steer. 

The service closed with the singing of "Keep the Home Fires 
Burning," Professor H. Augustine Smith singing the verses and the 
students joining in the chorus.

WAR EMERGENCY COURSES IN BUSINESS 

1917-1918 

AFTER the announcement of the break with Germany, followed 
by the announcement of the draft, business organizations, 
large and small, faced the situation of labor shortage. Important 
and unimportant positions had to be filled immediately. Assuming 
that many promotions would be made, it was evident that there 
would be an unusually large number of vacancies in minor posi- 
tions. Inexperienced help would predominate. 

The educational institutions of the country had been laying great 
stress upon intensive training in military matters, but it was now 
evident that if the country was to emerge from the world war 
victorious, business must receive as much attention as military 
preparation. It remained for Boston University to aid in solving 
one of the biggest problems which would confront business execu- 
tives within the next few months. 

Under the direction of T. Lawrence Davis, who was then Secretary 
of the College of Business Administration, a war emergency division 
was organized. Without charge for tuition, this special department 
of the College of Business Administration offered a program of 
study covering eight weeks of intensive training in elementary office 
routine, including the rudiments of subjects that the young office 
assistant would find necessary. In the first session, eight hundred 
young women were enrolled, one section meeting in the afternoon, 
the other in the evening. 



WAR RECORD 111 

The work began with lectures in commercial English — in con- 
nection with which there were many practical exercises. The 
great task of correcting the papers was undertaken by members of 
the College Club of Boston, who graciously volunteered their 
services. 

The general courses included work in the elements of commercial 
law, especially contracts and agencies, the practical side of banking, 
office organization, filing, accounting, and secretarial practice. 
These subjects were presented by faculty members and outside 
lecturers. The "Davis Secretarial Series," compiled by the director, 
was used as a home study text. 

One class, numbering over two hundred, became proficient in 
the operation of calculating machines. The Monroe Calculating 
Machine Company of New York loaned many of its machines and 
furnished a corps of instructors. 

The first classes were held during the hot summer weeks of 1917, 
yet the attendance was large and unusually regular. The second 
war emergency classes were organized during the spring of 1918. 
These classes were open to both men and women. 

Commenting on this work of Boston University, the Boston 
Record stated in its editorial columns: "This is specific, practical, 
necessary war efficiency work. The nation is doing its utmost to 
train young men in the duty of military service. Already our 
army is about four times as large as it was when we entered the 
war. But behind all this there will be gaps that must be filled, — 
countless clerical and office positions, the efficient conduct of 
which is essential to national preparedness and national eflFective- 
ness. Our schools and colleges have a clear duty to the nation in 
this matter. Boston University is meeting that duty finely." 

r 

BOSTON UNIVERSITY POST 43, AMERICAN LEGION 

Warren H. Hussey 
[Warren H. Hussey is Adjutant, Post 43, American Legion.] 

^ I ^HE American Legion in Boston University had its initial 
-■- impulse in June, 1919, when fifteen men in the Law School 
took out a charter as Massachusetts Post 43. As none of them re- 
turned to college the following September, the post became inactive 



112 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

and the charter was in danger of being revoked because of lack of 
interest on the part of the men in the University, many of whom 
were already members of other posts. 

Late in October Mr. Ralph L. Power, Librarian at the College 
of Business Administration, called together all the men interested, 
from all departments of the University, in an attempt to revive the 
fast-dying Boston University Post. At this meeting on November 
7 the following officers were elected: 

Ralph L. Power, Commander; Richard M. Millett, Vice-Com- 
mander; Warren H. Hussey, Adjutant; Emerson J. Pierce, Finance 
Officer. With this skeleton organization a short drive for members 
was made, bringing in about sixty-five men from different depart- 
ments of the University. 

The greatest difficulty which the post faces is the matter of a 
meeting place and the meeting time. The local separation of the 
various departments and schools of Boston University needs no 
comment, as the American Legion here suffers no more than any 
interdepartmental organization. Many of the members are night 
students; the Law School operates on a time schedule different 
from that of the College of Business Administration; that of the 
College of Business Administration differs from that of the College 
of Liberal Arts. 

However, the men who compose Post 43 feel that there is a very 
real place for the American Legion in Boston University, and are 
therefore making the best of a difficult situation. 

There are three things which the Boston University Post feels 
it can accomplish for the man in college to a much greater extent 
than can any other post; of these the most obvious is naturally the 
social feature, keeping the former service men in touch with one 
another. Without some such bond the stress of study and college 
activity would tend inevitably to break the thread of common 
interest which should hold them together. 

Then, again, the fact that a man has come back from the service 
to re-enter school should not bar him from active participation in 
the American Legion, as is the case with nearly every student who 
joins a post at home. In a university post such as this he is, on the 
contrary, able to take a very active interest not only in the Legion 
at large, but in the Legion in its relation to his particular problems 
as a student. 

This fact of having had a practical and active interest in the 




CAPTAIN PAUL W . B A A D E 



WAR RECORD 113 

Legion since its start will also be of considerable advantage later 
when the men transfer to their home posts as members familiar with 
the Legion and its aims and methods, instead of then beginning to 
acquire interest in the Legion and knowledge of what it stands for. 
This is perhaps the most vital consideration for the maintenance 
of a post of the American Legion at Boston University. 



BOSTON UNIVERSITY R. O. T. C. 

Paul JV. Baade 

[Major Paul W. Baade is a graduate of West Point, '11. He has served in 
the Philippines and in nearly every section of the United States; during the World 
War he was Lieutenant Colonel of the 322d Infantry, 81st Division, in the Vosges 
Sector, and in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.] 

LEADERSHIP, the power to handle men, has always been 
' recognized as a big asset for men in any walk of life. The ad- 
vantage of such training was well known to the Trustees of Boston 
University, so that they readily were influenced by this fact and by 
their interest in national welfare to establish the R. O. T. C. in 
Boston University. 

The establishment of an Infantry Unit of the Reserve Officers' 
Training Corps was authorized by the War Department on August 
16, 1919, and confirmed by the President on December 23, 1919, in 
accordance with the authority granted by Congress in an Act of 
June 3, 1916. Captain (then Lieutenant Colonel) Paul W. Baade 
was detailed to the University on September 9, 1919, as Professor 
of Military Science and Tactics, and on September 19, 1919, Ser- 
geant Major Walter Chamberlain, 1st Sergeant Frank R. Kendrick, 
and Sergeant Walter Moore were detailed as assistants. 

Very nearly seven hundred students enrolled at the beginning of 
the first semester, and showed an excellent spirit under the many 
adverse circumstances confronting them. For example, the police 
strike prevented drilling out of doors until weather was too inclem- 
ent, and furthermore the uniforms did not arrive until well on in the 
year. However, with the winter the regular, indoor drill in the 
South Armory commenced, and in the spring the Training Ground 
on Boston Common, reserved for purposes of drill from pre-Revolu- 
tionary days, was thrown open to the Unit, which held parades and 



114 BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

other ceremonies there every Friday afternoon. Such progress had 
been made during the year that the University was recommended 
to be inspected for the rank of Distinguished University in Military 
Work. This designation is limited to but fifteen colleges and uni- 
versities throughout the whole country each year; so that although 
the University did not attain the coveted honor of the award, it 
none the less may well be proud of being one of the few to be in- 
spected. 

The exceptional results attained in the very first year of military 
work are largely to be ascribed to the cadet officers, especially those 
who served during the World War as officers or in the ranks. They 
put their hearts and souls into the task, and it was due to their con- 
stant efforts that the organization was rendered practicable and 
lasting. 

Nor can the remarkable progress of the band be overlooked, for 
in one year it sprang from a recruit group into a well rounded and 
creditable military band. In years to come, as in the past year, 
this one feature alone will add much to the interest and enjoyment 
of the student body. In fact, without it the results achieved by the 
Military Department would be seriously impaired. 

Although the drills and ceremonies which take place on every 
Friday afternoon seem to the casual onlooker to be the "big thing 
in the course," these really form but a small part of the R. O. T. C. 
curriculum. The course covers a period of four years, and the 
student who completes the entire schedule will have received a well- 
grounded knowledge of the following: Personal Hygiene, Camp 
Sanitation, Minor Tactics, Topography and Map Reading, Signal- 
ing, Field Engineering, Message Writing, Small Arms Firing, 
Liaison, Common and Military Law, Military History and Eco- 
nomics, and all allied subjects. The purpose of the R. O. T. C. at 
colleges is primarily to prepare intelligent young men for Reserve 
Officers, so they can better serve their country in case of na- 
tional emergency; the secondary object is to develop the stu- 
dent physically, mentally, and morally. It plans to make him 
an honest, chivalrous American, with plenty of initiative — one 
who will not shirk responsibility nor hesitate to take deserved 
blame. 

In adding this course to the curriculum, the University offers a 
valuable opportunity for its student body to fit themselves better 
for the Battle of Life.

A WAR WORK ENDED 

THE Cercle Frangais of the College of Liberal Arts officially- 
closed its war work when on December 19, 1919, the records 
of its Paris charity, L'CEuvre des Petits Blesses, were presented to 
the college library. The records consist of a history of the charity 
itself and of the various benevolent activities which helped provide 
it with funds for its maintenance, the enterprises undertaken in its 
behalf by the Cercle Frangais, and a very interesting collection of 
letters from the French soldiers who were guests of the CEuvre during 
the four years in which it conducted its rest house at 21 Rue Valette,

Paris. These documents have been neatly bound in a portfolio 
volume, and will form a valuable historical record. 

The presentation was made at a College Assembly by Miss 
Angelina Funai, '20, former president of the Cercle. The gift was 
received by Dean W. M. Warren for the University. Following this 
ceremony an address was delivered by Captain Andre Morize on 
certain salient differences between educational institutions of France 
and those of the United States.
